The company was originally known for its upholstery and supplied furniture for the first class rooms on the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth liners. It began the production of domestic wooden furniture post the Second World War. The first sideboards were probably one shelf on a wall near a dining table used for the plates and food during mealtimes, and distinct from the cupboards used to permanently stores plates and cutlery. This later led to the development of furniture such as sideboards and aumbries that were used for the storage of plates and platters for serving food. This fine sideboard will make a wonderful addition to any home. Dimensions (cm): 222 W x 72 H x 43 D Very good condition, minor signs of use.
