George III Breakfront Side Cabinet
This well proportioned George III breakfront side cabinet is a testament to the craftsmanship of the late 18th century. Crafted from the finest plum pudding mahogany veneers, known for its rich, deep hues and distinctive patterns, this cabinet exudes elegance and sophistication. The cabinet’s rising breakfront top is accentuated by a wide satinwood and rosewood cross banding, adding a luxurious contrast to the mahogany.
The facade of the cabinet is an artful display of craftsmanship, featuring three false drawers and three false cupboard doors, which maintain the piece’s sleek aesthetic while providing a clever disguise for its true function. Each front panel is adorned with satinwood ovals, encircled by a charming border of simulated pearls, giving the impression of refined opulence.
Not only is this cabinet a remarkable piece of historical furniture, but it can also be adapted to meet contemporary needs. It is now ideally suited to house a flat screen television, complete with a rising mechanism that allows for modern convenience without compromising the cabinet’s classic beauty. Offered in excellent condition, this George III breakfront side cabinet is ready to grace any interior with its timeless allure.
