Large mahogany sideboard, Louis XVI period. It has JME stamped and you can tell the maker's stamp is there as well, difficult to identify. No doubt that it is coming from a prestigious cabinet-maker though : structure is made of oak (while most 18th century structures were made of pine), bronzes are finely chiseled and still have gold marks (mercury gilt), the shelves with mercury mirrors are designed to highlight precious objects, and the white marble is way thicker than most classical 18th century marbles. Our sideboard is one very hard piece to find : most dining room pieces of furniture that you see on the antique marketplace are 19th century productions in the style of Louis XVI : the fashion for this type of piece came in the 1780s and production was scarce. Ours is an authentical 18th century sideboard. Being rare and top-quality level, this piece probably comes from a prestigious place. Every item is original (marble, bronzes, mercury mirrors...) and the whole piece is in excellent condition.
