Pair of small antique Napoleon III sideboards with Sèvres porcelains

Pair of small antique Napoleon III French sideboards in precious exotic woods with inserts of bronze elements. The front features a hinged door with a Sèvres porcelain plaque in the center surrounded by an inlay with a geometric motif. The under-top band has a significant thickness dictated by the presence of a finely chiselled gilt bronze garnish. The top is also covered in the same wood with a light border in contrast with the dark base background. The two corners are embellished by the presence of finely chiselled gilded bronze elements both at the bottom and at the top. Provenance: France, 1860/1870.
