Queen Anne Style Cherry Sideboard



We just acquired this gorgeous, well-made Queen Anne style cherry sideboard dating to the middle part of the 20th century. 

It measures 68" l, 23 1/8" d and 36" h and sits on four lightly carved cabriole legs which terminate into triffid feet. The gently bowed front is lightly carved with acanthus leaves and a shell motif on each of three bibs. There are six drawers in all; two wide, two narrow, and two deep. All have tongue in groove joints

$1150.00

Homage to Blue & White

I was shoppe-sitting for Kevin today and came across this lovely vignette of blue and white, which he arranged yesterday. The dinnerware service is Staffordshire Liberty Blue by Wedgwood.

The hand-made Union Jack sachets are filled with French Lavender. The stripes are made by going back and forth on a sewing machine so no two are exactly alike.

The blue and white slipcover is made from a  documentary print fabric from the Colonial Williamsburg Collection by Waverly.
