Hi, nelliedean! Very nice item. "Sideboard" was the first word that came to mind for this item, and AmberRose is very good with vintage furniture! RE 'legs'. I don't have any Deco furniture reference works at home, so I'm flying on memory and the internet right now. I suppose that your sideboard could be Epstein, but these bentwood pedestals are frequently found in French Art Deco, and that's where I first tried to find it - unsuccessfully. I found many similar, but not an exact match. I did a Googles images search for Epstien and didn't find any pieces with this exact bentwood/etc. base, though I did find two pieces with heavy bentwood pedestals. Have you consulted reference works on Art Deco furniture at a good library? Here's a link to a Google search for best books on Art Deco furniture. Wish I could have helped more. Best wishes for success! ; )

P.s. Two more suggestions. Photos of interior might yield important clues as to maker. Also, hardware, if original, might also be identified more easily than the furniture 'care'. : )
RE my Comment No. 7: Oops. I meant to say furniture "case" not "care".
To miKKo Christmas,,thank you soooooooo much, i,ll read as much as i can and post some pictures of interior,,,,,the handles are brass coloured and made by croft and assinder, i dont know if that helps, but that kind of swayed me away from french towards epstein, like you, i couldn,t fins anything the same on the internet.
thank you xx
