This philosophy is embodied in our range of custom wooden sideboards, meticulously crafted to elevate your home décor to new heights of sophistication and elegance.

A Brief History of Sideboards

The sideboard, also known as the buffet, once a staple of dining rooms and parlours in centuries past, has a rich history dating back to the 18th century. Originally conceived as a utilitarian piece of furniture used for serving food and displaying tableware, buffets evolved over time to become symbols of status, wealth, and refined taste.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, sideboards were often elaborately carved and embellished with intricate designs, reflecting the opulence of the era’s aristocracy. They were typically made from fine woods such as mahogany, walnut, and oak, and adorned with decorative elements such as brass fittings, inlays, and marquetry.

During the Victorian era, sideboards underwent a transformation, becoming larger and more ornate to accommodate the elaborate dining rituals of the time. They became focal points of dining rooms, serving as showcases for fine china, silverware, and other dining accoutrements.

In the 20th century, buffets experienced a revival as designers and craftsmen began to reinterpret traditional styles with modern sensibilities. Today, sideboards continue to be prized for their versatility, offering both storage and display space while adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to any room.

Lighouse pays homage to this rich history of buffets, drawing inspiration from traditional designs while infusing them with contemporary flair. Our custom wooden sideboards embody the timeless beauty and enduring craftsmanship that have made buffets a beloved fixture in homes around the world for centuries.
