Remarkable piece of craftmanship from the 19th century. This Sheraton style sideboard is specially designed as a butler's sideboard complete with a secretary desk inside, hidden compartments, locks and working keys. It is made of mahogany with beautiful inlays throughout including the center conch shell detail. It has a deep bowfront with curved cabinets and drawers on either side. The center opens to reveal a secretary desk with many drawers and cubbies and a felt writing surface. There are 'hidden' buttons beneath to remove the entire desk section and reveal hidden drawers behind. There are two drawers below the desk as well. It is masterfully hand constructed with hand forged nails and dovetail joints. There are three skeleton keys on a tassel that work all of the locks. This is a rare find that will elevate your interior. Overall dimensions are 67" wide x 25-1/4" deep x 39-3/4" high. Desk work area is 31-1/4" wide x 17" deep.
