Featured Sideboard? Dresser base? Hunt board? Server? What is it?

Could someone please help me identify this piece? I'd like to know the date, style, and maker. Please disregard the bows on the brasses - it was given to me as a gift. Thank you!

 

nice gift....
nice you have the room for it....

english 1890 sideboard........just a WAG !!

 

Ditto, sideboard. Would also guess English. Can't see enough details to even hazard a guess on age.

 

From the style, I was thinking closer to 1800 or a little earlier?? Closeup:
LOVE the pitcher or jug, BTW!!!!

 

I don't think the hardware is that early....but.. could have been switched out..

 

What's a hunt board?

 

Due to size and form. I would call it a hunt board (for laying out the refreshments/meal after a hunt)

 

That's a beauty!
Welcome on... Board, LizzyW

 

Hi LizzyW!

Welcome to Antiquers...........

 

Not a sideboard, strictly speaking, it's for laying out food as Mansons rightly says. English oak, 1870s ish to 1920s even. I suspect it came from a hotel or restaurant.

 

(Had me confused for a minute with the photos )

It's very handsome! Those keyholes are faux are they not?

 

maybe the one on the far left....or it was poorly placed..

 

The one on the left end looks faux, the others, on enlargement, look functional....from images....

 

So sorry, Hi and WELCOME to Antiquers, @LizzyW !!!! Where were my manners.....apparently stuck behind the non-keyhole!!!

 

It's gorgeous!! I'd say sideboard. I have no idea what pattern. But I love the wood and the pulls!

 

Thought a huntboard to be smaller and taller.

 

It's not that common a term here, we tend to use sideboard or even side table for most things. There's another word for these long serving tables which has escaped my head.
