whytock and reid mahogany sideboard

Circa 1920, good mahogany sideboard by Whytock & Reid of Edinburgh after a design by Sir Robert Lorimer. The rectangular narrow top, with its wonderful selected mahogany, has a three quarter wrap around gallery which rises and falls all the way around and is slightly curved. The cut out centre piece at the back has an oval quarter veneered mahogany panel. The fore edge of the top has carving on both ends and a carved panel in the centre. Beneath the top there are 2 pairs of doors with matching flame veneers and 2 crossbanded drawers with rounded fronts and stylish drop handles. Beneath the drawers in the centre there is an apron, a classic Whytock & Reid/Lorimer feature. The gables left and right have wonderful flamed mahogany veneer panels on them and the whole piece stands on 6 very stylish carved cabriole legs. The legs have carved shells on the top, stylish quarter brackets with a carved edge on it, and a slight tear drop at the back. They finish on a stylised foot which is typical of Whytock & Reid/Lorimer. The whole piece is a good rich colour, clean, stylish. Quality Whytock & Reid furniture can be determined by the selection of the veneers/timbers and the execution.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
