This outstanding sideboard can be attributed to William Lloyd based upon a very closely related example dated 1811 and bearing the cabinetmaker's label (see Sotheby's, New York, Fine Americana, October 10, 1998, sale 7195, lot 390). Both sideboards feature the same overall design and nearly identical inlaid kylix panel.  Another sideboard, attributed to William Lloyd, has nearly identical interlocking string inlay on it legs and sold at Christie’s, New York, Important American Furniture, Folk Art and Silver, sale 13791, lot 665.  Lloyd produced a variety of form at all price points.  For a detail analysis of the Lloyds other furniture see Joshua Lane, “New Perspectives on Connecticut River Valley Cabinetmakers,” Historic Deerfield, Winter 2010, pp. 37-45.
