✨ **New Arrival | Arts & Crafts Oak Sideboard c.1900**

A superb piece of turn-of-the-century British design.

Dating from around **1900**, this substantial Arts & Crafts sideboard is constructed in beautifully figured oak and combines the honest craftsmanship of the Arts & Crafts movement with the flowing natural forms of emerging **Art Nouveau design**.

The extraordinary raised back immediately sets it apart. A distinctive shaped central mirror is surrounded by panelled oak decorated with stylised organic motifs, while turned columns and slender spindle galleries create an unusually architectural silhouette.

Below, the beautifully figured bowed drawer fronts retain their decorative brass ring handles, with a generous four-door cupboard providing substantial storage. The outer doors are particularly attractive, enriched with deeply carved flowing foliate decoration.

Look closely at the photographs and the quality of the oak really comes through - particularly the dramatic figuring across the drawer fronts.

A sideboard with real presence, craftsmanship and individuality, equally at home in a period property or as a statement piece within a contemporary interior.

A Cabinet That Captures the Grandeur of Belle Époque France

Some pieces of furniture are functional. Others are works of art.

This exceptional French Vernis Martin bombé cabinet, dating from around 1900, is a beautiful example of the luxury and craftsmanship that defined the Louis XV Revival period.

Its striking bombé form is crowned by an elegant serpentine marble top, whilst every surface has been thoughtfully adorned with hand-painted Vernis Martin panels depicting romantic figures set within idyllic woodland landscapes. Rich amber, russet and golden tones glow against the beautifully figured kingwood-style veneers, creating remarkable warmth and depth.

Finely cast gilt-bronze mounts enrich every angle of the cabinet. Classical female masks, scrolling acanthus foliage and beautifully chased ormolu mounts frame each painted panel, transforming the cabinet into a true decorative statement.

Opening the door reveals useful internal storage, with the reverse retaining its luxurious red velvet lining—a wonderful reminder that these cabinets were created to impress both inside and out.

Over a century later, it remains every bit as captivating as the day it left the Parisian workshop.
