About this work

Sideboard made of fruitwood. The hexagonal sideboard has chamfered corners at the front and stands on six high legs. The turned legs, with a brass casing at the bottom, widen towards the top and have a black-painted band at the top. Five sides, except the back, consist of a framework with a panel surrounded by a black-painted border. The front contains two doors with a wide drawer above them, the edges of which are trimmed with a black-painted border. In the center of the doors is a medallion containing a carved fruit basket. Around it is a black-painted border in a diamond shape. The drawer has a brass ring as a handle. On the top of the sideboard is a grey-veined marble slab inset.
