Issue 4 104 www.incollect.com A very attractive Pollard oak mid-19th century sideboard from Loveday Antiques. Pollard oak started to be used quite heavily in the early to mid- 19th century. Pollard oak is not a species, rather its distinctive swirling grain is created by vigorous and repeated pruning creating a burr, which is then harvested and cut for veneers. It is a sophisticated look as is the style of the sideboard.
