History of the Side Board

The sideboard was a late eighteenth-century development and sprang from the table. It is said to have been originated by Robert Adam, who introduced the custom of placing a a large wooden vaselike urn on a pedestal at each end of a side table. At first the urns contained the cutlery, but this was transferred to a drawer when urns went out of use.

The obvious advantage of having this storage space so close to the table led to urns and tables becoming one unit, and later to the replacement of the urns by either smaller cupboards or drawers.

The cupboards were used for many purposes: some were lined with metal to keep plates warm, or to hold water or wine bottles.

Even in modern day dining areas this is the most useful piece of auxiliary furniture you could have.
