Finally arrived at our workshop. After more then a month trying to get them down from Jiangsu. It is the first time we have found a matching set of sideboards. Especially excited as all the brass fittings are intact. The centre sideboard is W 150cm x D 48cm x H 107cm. The pair on either side are each W 109cm x D 48cm x H 107cm. They should be in the shop by the end of May.
