Luxury is the message and there’s no medium more appropriate for sending it than the lustrous, timeless quality of wood. Whispering of time-honored craftsmanship and painstaking detail, a luxury wooden sideboard brings warmth and depth to your classic living room.
A Glorious Past
Also known as a “buffet”, the sideboard’s most common location is the dining room. While this is a practical choice, the living room is often the site of gatherings which require space to arrange canapes and cocktails in an elegant display which appeals to the eye and offers entertaining convenience.
Originating in the 18th Century, the sideboard established itself in 19th Century Europe, as continental householders’ fortunes increased during the Industrial Revolution. In Italy, where all beautiful things are revered, the sideboard is known as the “credenza”.
Today’s wooden sideboard has its origins in the homes of those prospering in the crucible of monumental change, displaying their wealth in intricate wood inlay and costly veneers.
