<p>[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 204301, member: 29"]Aha. Carlisle. That would make sense for a Scottish piece. Often dark or ebonised, and certainly heavily embellished with carving. As to grapes and leaves, that's fine. This was meant as a sideboard in a dining room, probably a prosperous middle class house or minor squire. You'd keep your wines and ports in it, with your madeira, amongst other things.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
