220 - Pair of sideboards. England, early 19th century. Paneled and embellished with gilded wooden frames molded with ovules and palmettes that outline the tall bands below the top and the two doors. The side posts are adorned with tapered pilasters carved, at the top, with the faces of Vestal Virgins wearing floral crowns and, at the base, with laurel leaves. Two doors on the front, decorated with a gilded metal grille and pleated silk, reveal two open compartments. The square legs are also gilded. Marble tops. 105 x 38 x 96 cm. Sotheby’s, Paris https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Qz3PMXCXheZaURcNQet4kIBP-8lap40C Characterized by their graphic and architectural design, high level of craftsmanship, and elegant Regency style, this pair of sideboards reflects the taste of the early Regency period: the fashionable and exotic materials of the veneers—such as rosewood and mahogany, often with prominent grain patterns—blend harmoniously with the gilded “Greek-style” decorations, typical of the rediscovery of classical taste that took place in the early 19th century.
