antique sideboard or demi-cupboard from the southern german biedermeier period around 1825.

a piece of furniture standing on pedestalled square feet with two doors flanked by half-columns at the bottom and a head drawer above.
the beautiful grain of the cherry wood is neatly mirrored and ensures a strict symmetry on the front, sides and top.

behind the doors are two large open compartments, which would have been used to store plates, bowls or glasses. Unlike a chest of drawers, the sideboard, is therefore also suitable for storing bulky and standing objects. The drawer was probably used to store cutlery or table linen.

there is a stamp "p. Freudensprung - kolonialwaren - bamberg memmelsdorferstr. 18" on the back of the drawer. At this point, protected from sunlight, the ink has been well preserved.

condition: refurbished and suitable for everyday use. less
