Appraiser Remarks
Late 19th Century French sideboards of this type tend to be a little over the top and a mix of styles, a hint of Art Nouveau style mixed a bit with Louis XV in this one. Pieces like this peaked in value back in the 1990's and since then have declined both in value and in demand, a victim of downsizing and decorating trends. Currently at auction one like this would go at auction for about $2500.00
