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.
