With its quarter-fan inlay and striated reserves, this sideboard illustrates hallmarks of New York-made Federal furniture. Its close resemblance to a sideboard labelled by Matthew Egerton, Jr. of New Brunswick, New Jersey, however, indicates that similar devices were also used in the adjoining state (John Walton ad, Antiques (July 1950), p. 11). For a nearly identical sideboard categorized as "Best," see Albert Sack, Fine Points of Furniture: Early American (New York, 1952), p. 219.
