William King Regional Arts Center has deaccessioned a mid-nineteenth century Empire Sideboard with crotch-grain mahogany, formerly on display at the Fields-Penn 1860 House Museum, operated by the Center.  The Arts Center aims to exchange or sell this object to another non-profit museum. In exchange, we are looking for decorative arts made in Southwest Virginia or Northeast Tennessee before 1940.

 

The sideboard (TC.321.99) was purchased in February of 1993 from an antique shop near Raleigh, North Carolina before William King Regional Arts Center managed the House Museum and owned its collections. The sideboard is no longer within the scope of the collections.
