A masterpiece Sheraton inlaid
mahogany sideboard, rectangular with reeded turrets,
having three upper drawers and two satinwood and mahogany tambour doors and flanking
cupboard doors, made by John Seymour and Son, carving attributed
to Thomas Whitman. One of the most important American sideboards, this bears a close
relationship to the Andrew Varick Stout example in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The
master designer and genius artisan transformed the basic form of the previous example into
a supreme achievement. Boston, circa 1800-1810. 40½" high, 73 ½" wide, 26
½" deep
