Item Description
This French sideboard, dating to the late 19th century, is a wonderfully characterful piece that combines robust construction with refined proportions and surface interest. Its low, elongated form offers both visual balance and practical versatility, making it an ideal anchor piece within an interior.
The sideboard retains its original brass handles, which provide a warm tonal contrast against the painted surface and serve as an authentic reminder of its 19th-century origins. The drawers are well proportioned and smoothly integrated, offering practical storage without disrupting the clean lines of the façade.
Finished in a later specialist paint finish, the surface has been carefully layered to create a mottled, distressed antique chalky blue appearance. Subtle variations in tone, areas of gentle wear, and softened edges give the piece depth, texture, and an honest sense of age, while allowing the underlying form to remain calm and elegant.
This balance of authentic structure and decorative surface makes the sideboard particularly adaptable, sitting comfortably in country houses, coastal interiors, or more pared-back contemporary spaces.
Styling Suggestions
• Ideal as a dining room sideboard or serving table
• Works beautifully in kitchens, hallways, or living spaces
• Style with ceramics, lamps, or artwork to emphasise its length
• Pairs well with neutral palettes, natural materials, and layered textures
