dinning room
Southern cabinetmakers developed a smaller sideboard with higher legs called huntboard(because hunters were said to have stood up to it - after the hunt - to have a drink or two). Several kinds of chests were also common to country dining rooms: the sugar chest, where valuable sugar was locked up; spice chestsfor precious imports such as pepper, cinnamon and vanilla; and cellarettes, where wine and spirits were stored.
Usually fitted with a keyhole to deter pilferage, many sugar chests also had two built-in compartments - one for storing brown sugar and the other for white. Standing cellarettes, were made and used in the South for a long period of time. (Country Antiques and Collectibles, edited by Carter Smith)
We carry many, many side boards, servers and china cabinets to choose from, in many styles and woods, such as oak, birch, maple, cherry, walnut, mahogany and others, from the Colonial period, Victorian era and Arts & Crafts.
