Do you know what piece of furniture on which the Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence? During the convention, these men were sitting at simple, yet stately, desks in the Pennsylvania State House, now known as Independence Hall. There were several disagreements during the writing of the document, but the arguments did not stop there. When it came down to signing the Declaration, no one could agree whose desks the others would have to walk over to in order to sign it. This argument was clearly ridiculous, so to make sure that everyone had to get up in order to sign the document, Benjamin Franklin took the parchment to the sideboard in the corner of the room. Everyone had to line up to sign it there and no one could argue on this topic any more. This story may lead one to think that if that sideboard was not present, the Declaration may never have been signed! That makes that important antique sideboard a hero!
If you are interested in paying some homage to our glorious past, you should look into antique sideboards for your home! This piece of furniture looks great in several rooms. The most traditional place is the dining room. A sideboard normally sits against the wall and could be a completely decorative piece or it could combine form with function. Beautifully carved and decorated drawers not only look great, they are a great place for storing place-mats, extra silverware, or candles. Buffet tables also work great in the living room or the hall. Store board games or winter clothing, such as hats, scarves, and gloves, in it for easy access. It also keeps these rooms neat and clean because there are not piles of toys and clothes everywhere!
