Description: Fabulous Renaissance Revival walnut Victorian huntboard with
an original white marble top. The top features a wonderful three
dimensionally carved elk head with wooden antlers and fruit. The top has
been cut in back of the crest - some portion extended up a bit in back
originally but this is not apparent when looking at the piece. There are
two shaped shelves on either side of the mirror. The base has three drawers
on top with tear drop pulls and two cupboard doors beneath. The right
drawer is fitted for silverware. The doors have intricate carved fowl and
game on the fronts. There is a shelf (one replaced) in each cupboard. The
entire top and base are decorated with raised and inset burled panels. The
underside of the marble is signed "Burpee Rockland ME." That could be
either the maker of the sideboard or the person it was made for. A superior Victorian huntboard with great carved embellishments!
