Lot 270
An American Classical Carved and Stenciled Mahogany Sideboard, early 19th c., attributed to Anthony Quervelle, Philadelphia, pedimented, corbel-mounted mirror back flanked by pierced scrolls; marble top over a slide, a long drawer, gadrooned molding, arched center niche flanked by bolection molded drawers, over paneled doors, acanthus carved Ionic columns, plinth base and acanthine paw feet, original stenciling throughout, height 61 in., width 77 in., depth 22 in. Note: The sideboard offered here has many similarities in overall form and ornamental detail to those on a sideboard by Anthony Quervelle conserved at Winterthur, including the bolection molded drawers, identical carved capitals and carved paw feet. The carved brackets, drawers, cabinet doors, and cellarette well on this lot are all very similar to those on two "Brake Center" sideboards in the Anthony Quervelle Sketchbook conserved at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
