Victorian Oak Sideboard by Christopher Pratt
For sale is an extraordinary Victorian Oak Sideboard, with a raised back having a dentil and carved frieze over five leaded glass doors and turned ionic columns. The base with two drawers and two panelled doors, one enclosing a cellaret, within carved ends with scrolled brackets, turned and carved columns and open shelves. The sideboard is in very good condition with very minor wear commensurate with age and use. The sideboard was made by Christopher Pratt, a renowned English cabinet maker.
Pratt became an apprentice cabinet maker. After finishing his apprenticeship, Christopher Pratt set up his business in 1845, designing and making quality antique furniture for homes, businesses and buildings nationwide.
By 1900 the store had 14 departments and sold furniture from other craftsmen.
During the First World War, Christopher Pratts contributed to the war effort by producing and assembling aircraft parts
We believe this piece to have been bespoke made for the owners of North Mymms Park, where we purchased the sideboard. North Mymms Park. North Mymms Park is a private estate near Colney Heath.The house is a red Manor house built in the 16th century but it has been an estate since 1066.Members of the royal family have stayed there. In the house there are a large number of rooms some of which have decorated ceilings. There is a Clock Tower on the North Side of North Mymms Park. The inside of the Clock tower was built in 1801. FB Antiques, long standing members of LAPADA (London and Provincial Antique Dealers Association), has been established since 1960 in London and had three shops supplying the home and overseas trade. We relocated from London 30 years ago to Rayleigh in Essex, to a 40,000 sqft warehouse from which we shipped approximately 120 containers a year. 5 years ago we downsized to our storage premises in Rettendon Essex, and now operate from our 15,000 sqft showroom and workshops, still supplying home and overseas trade as well as many members of the general public.
We pride ourselves on pricing our furniture at competitive prices. We are only 30 miles from London and are open 7 days a week for viewing. We are always willing to do a deal with the client and will try and assist in any way possible.
