Lot 310
A Southern Walnut, Pine, and Poplar Huntboard in the Hepplewhite Taste c. 1800, North Carolina, Piedmont region, the breakfronted top with molded edge over drawers and paneled cabinet doors on slender square tapering legs, height 43 in., width 50.5in., depth 19.5in. Note: Evolving from Colonial-era long tables, the Southern 'sideboard table' emerged as the preferred furniture for serving food. Early examples had long legs and shallow drawers. Drawer depth increased through the early 19th-century as dining accessories became more plentiful and storage needs increased. This example includes cupboards for the storage of tall items like bottles. The commonly known term, 'huntboard', was applied to the form by early 20th c. antiquarians.
