Those interested in this period furniture should definitely follow the link to the old sideboard also.
Much obliged for the heads-up.
To tell the truth, I'm not that greatly impressed with either piece, but they do have a certain "cachet" that comes with the sticker ... providing they are indeed the real thing, which they appear to be from the photos.
My bet is that the doors are missing on the sideboard. I've seen, and collected photos, on literally hundreds of sideboards and have not seen one without doors ... but being no "expert", take that with a grain of sawdust.
That said, the hardware alone on both pieces is worth is a good bit itself.
In any event, it makes me further appreciate my latest attempt at a sideboard, even if it was a "quickie".
On the forth row of pictures, it shows close-up of one of the open cupboards and you can see the hinges are still there for the missing door..
I would of thought that the #708 Writing Desk (top of the same page) would be worth more.
