“The moving sideboard is a very convenient piece of dining-room furniture for receiving dishes, holding dessert, etc., when there is not room for a large sideboard, and is frequently used, even where there is one— as, being light, and upon castors, they may be wheeled from one part of the room to the other, and may even perform, in part, the duties of a servant, in time of need. These designs, which are in the French taste, may easily be simplified in detail, without impairing their good effect.”
