PLATE X. Sheraton Straight Front Sideboard—Cherry. (South Carolina—c. 1800). This sideboard of the straight front type was found near Greenville. Straight front sideboards made by the better workmen often show elaborate inlay rather than curves. Here a different placement of the wine drawers is shown. The narrow wine drawer did not come into use until the Sheraton period, and it is thought that they are of American origin. (Property of J. D. Holt).
PLATE XI. Top—Sheraton Sideboard—Mahogany. (Virginia—c. 1800-1820). A bow-center sideboard of the late Sheraton style, and a finely veneered piece of its type. Sideboards of this shape are found throughout the South. (Property of Mrs. Victor Stewart).
PLATE XI. Bottom—Empire Sideboard—Mahogany. (South Carolina—c. 1820). The ornate Empire style is shown with the crotch mahogany veneers and brass trimmings typical of this period. Although this sideboard cannot definitely be placed as Southern made, it represents a type that was made here. In the Pringle house, Charleston. (Property of Miss Susan B. Frost).
