Part of $15 Million | Part 2 | McLean Mansion on the Potomac | Online Estate Auction (live auction by Prime Auction Solutions)

High bid $600.00

Status: Sold

A traditional mahogany-veneered sideboard or serving cabinet, executed in a restrained neoclassical idiom with a gently serpentine case front and rounded, bow-ended flanks. The top presents as a broad serving surface with softly radiused corners and a molded edge, above a long conforming frieze drawer fitted with turned brass knobs; each end incorporates a separate quarter-round drawer, creating a practical trio for linens or flatware. The lower case is organized with a pair of paneled cupboard doors, each centered by a shaped, applied molding that frames the veneer field; the doors are fitted with brass escutcheons and operate with a key (key illustrated). Within, fixed shelving provides generous storage for serving ware and household linens. The carcass is articulated with framed stiles, stepped moldings, and a continuous plinth base that visually grounds the cabinet while emphasizing its architectural profile. Overall, the piece aligns with the enduring Hepplewhite/Sheraton revival vocabulary—serpentine fronts, framed panels, and refined brass—designed to present handsomely in dining-room settings as a buffet, server, or hallway console.
