01
Artifact Overview
Artist Sydney Burleigh, a leading member of the Arts and Crafts movement in Rhode Island, created this remarkably elegant sideboard in the late 1800s. Its simple lines, flush surfaces, painted panels, and handcrafted construction contrasted with the overly ornate and machine-made furniture of the period. Burleigh used this sideboard in his Providence, Rhode Island, studio.
