<p>[QUOTE="Barbara, post: 123842, member: 1768"]This oak sideboard was acquired and sold by J. White & Sons who was in business in Sheffield from the 1890's until about 1940. However, they also sold second-hand furniture, so it's possible this sideboard is a little older. They didn't make furniture. This one is made by hand and solid wood throughout. Brass hinges have been added, but there is a wooden latch with a hand-cut screw. The top has a slight ripple feel with handmade dowels. The dovetails are also handmade. Are there clues as to when this might have been made?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]31601[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]31602[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]31603[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]31604[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]31605[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
