British Colonial Mahogany Sideboard
Mid 19th centuryA very decorative British colonial sideboard made of mahogany. The sideboard has two carved doors between two spirally turned pillars. The doors are boldly carved with a large oval sunburst design, centered by an oval disk and open to reveal an interior with 2 shelves. The cabinet stands on a carved base supported on four paw feet. The sunburst or “Surajmukhi” is a typical motif of the state of Gujarat signifying prosperity.
The sideboard is in good condition and has been lovingly restored and finished to its former glory using a traditional form of French polishing and waxing. The mahogany has a rich warm shade with a striking grain.
