House Note · About this piece

On Saturdays the antique dealers line Portobello Road in London's Notting Hill, and the best finds there are the old working pieces, ready to go home and earn their keep again. This sideboard is just such a piece. It is a true antique, ready to hold the china inside and to serve a meal from its top once more.

Because each one is an antique, its size and details vary a little from piece to piece, so the measurements given are a guide. Inside, a shelf runs the full width of the cabinet and lifts out when you need room for taller things, such as a stack of serving bowls or a big pitcher. The frame is reclaimed timber, repainted a soft robin's egg blue worn back at the edges to show the honey-coloured wood beneath, and at about 35 inches high the top makes an easy surface to serve from.

Its modest width suits a dining room or a breakfast nook, with plates and glasses inside and a lamp and a bowl of lemons on top. It also fits an entry or a landing, holding gloves, chargers and the things that never seem to have a home. This listing is for one antique sideboard.
