This anonymous print depicts two wooden sideboards, likely intended for a catalog of furniture. The two sideboards, which have the same basic structure with differing ornamentation, are drawn with great detail. The image is likely from the late 19th century based on the style of the sideboards and the printing. The text beneath each sideboard indicates their intended function as “Etagere a decouper,” which roughly translates to “cutlery display stand”. This print is a valuable source of information for researchers looking at furniture design and production in the 19th century.
