Frequent Art Questions
Were chairs constructed to match this table?
This object is a "sideboard" this was not designed to have chairs at it, but I'm not sure if the designer, Wendell Castle, ever designed matching decorative chairs in the same style. This is an extremely interesting piece of furniture with the wide feet below pyramidal structures that support the sideboard itself. Wendell Castle is one of America’s most important contemporary furniture makers.Ah, a sideboard! That explains the drawers. Thanks!You're welcome!
