Sideboard or Buffet ...?
A contemporary sideboard design displaying Victorian elegance
The Victorian era
saw the increased spending on elegance and ornamentation - all this generated
by the Industrial revolution during Queen Victoria's reign, (1837-1901).
Interiors were
noted for their orderliness with houses divided into rooms - with public
and private spaces clearly divided.
None more so than the dining room which was the
second-most important room in the house. This room showcased the often elaborate and ornate Sideboard or buffet - these
being most often the focal point of the Dining room.
Plates and crockery Storage?
Cutlery storage?
The sideboard had
the practical function of serving food as well as providing storage.
Typically, at waist height,
consisting of cabinets and cupboards and one or more draws.
This simple design
has carried through to today with separate units being produced as one single
item, housing shelved side and central under storage and top drawer. (As above).
(For the None purists out there, the words Sideboard and buffet are much the same thing.
However, if the item has short legs or a base that sits directly on the floor with no legs, then it's a Sideboard. If it has longer legs then it's more likely to be called a Buffet).
Even more storage...!
