When I was a boy visiting my Great Grandmother there were antiques in every room. Being curious I asked about the cupboard in the Dining room; Grandma proceeded to tell me it was used to store table linens, the good silverware and some serving dishes. At meal time the top was cleared off and dinner dishes, casseroles and other side dishes were brought in, guests would then fill their own plates. MorningLight needed a sideboard as it is called to accentuate the formal dining room. Sorry, no refunds or exchanges you may use the links above to make another selection or create one of your own.
