What is this piece of furniture?

[KatyMac]

We have always called it 'the butler' but googling that tells me we were wrong

Any ideas?

[Cornishmumofone]

Can you share a picture showing the whole thing?

[KatyMac]

No sorry it's not in the house with me and I am on lockdown miles away

The third picture is the best I guess - close to a console table but with storage

[Zaphodsotherhead]

Is it a card table? Or a games table?

With storage for backgammon pieces or bridge score cards?

[Windyatthebeach]

Sideboard. Is the green tray for cutlery?

[Clevs]

Cutlery storage?

[DramaAlpaca]

Those green parts look like cutlery trays to me, so a sideboard.

[HouseOfEdwards]

Yes, for your fancy cutlery.

[KatyMac]

Yes they are cutlery trays

It sits against the wall and the lid lifts, with trays 3 deep

It's quite neat and a bit delicate

[longwayoff]

It's a regency? cutlery store/chest but someone's apparently pinched your family silver. Raise the alarm!

[KatyMac]

Haha it hasn't had original cutlery for generations (not since before my grandma so that would be early 1900)

[glitterbiscuits]

Chiffonier?

They stored cutlery but were usually a bit more fancy.

[PastMyBestBeforeDate]

Is it a canteen? You used to describe big cutlery sets as canteens.

[Gingernaut]

It looks like a canteen side table
