Hepplewhite Mahogany Sideboard by W.A. Hathaway Late 19th Century
The W.A. Hathaway Company was a high-end furniture retailer based in New York, New York. Established in the early 1800s, the company became well-known for producing finely crafted, high-quality furniture during the Colonial Revival period. Their designs often celebrated classic American and European styles, including Hepplewhite, with meticulous attention to detail and the use of premium materials such as mahogany. The company’s reputation for excellence persisted until around 1923, when production ceased. This restored sideboard exemplifies Hathaway’s commitment to quality and timeless design. The mahogany construction, original hardware, and Hepplewhite influence reflect the elegance and craftsmanship for which the company was renowned. Hepplewhite-style furniture, rooted in late 18th-century England, was celebrated for its clean lines, symmetry, and refined details, which Hathaway seamlessly incorporated into their work. As a piece crafted during the height of the Colonial Revival period, this sideboard not only serves as a functional item but also stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of W.A. Hathaway and the artistry of early American furniture making. Dimensions: W 44” H 33.5” D 17”
