Reeding, a run of rounded ribs set side by side, is borrowed from the classical column, the kind whose fluted shafts still stand in Provence from Roman times, and it has dressed fine furniture since the Regency, when cabinetmakers used it on table legs and cupboard fronts. It returned strongly in the 1930s, and it still gives plain wood a play of light and shadow.
This sideboard is long and low, with softly rounded ends and a slab of real marble on top that wipes clean after a party. The body is solid hardwood, reeded from end to end. Four soft-closing doors close quietly and open onto three separate compartments, each with its own adjustable shelf, so you can set the height for stacked dinner plates in one, tall bottles in the next and folded linens in the third. Small dark knobs keep the front quiet, non-marking pads sit under the feet, and it is rated to hold 200 lbs.
In a dining room it serves as a buffet: serving dishes, napkins and the good glasses behind the doors, a pair of linen-shaded lamps and a bowl of pears on the marble. Under a wall-mounted television it turns media console, hiding cables, controllers and remotes, and it makes a fine living room bar or an office credenza for files. The blond reeding keeps a long piece light in a house of white walls, rush seats and terracotta pots.
