Stylish Vintage 1950s Walnut & Beech Sideboard

Here is one of those British midcentury pieces whose design bridges post-war practicality and the emerging, exciting home decor movement of the midcentury. This sideboard’s looks and features are both traditional and modernist at the same time. Expertly crafted in a mix of dark, striped walnut on the fronts, top and sides; and blond beech on the trim to create borders and accents, the colour contrast is used to striking effect. Taller than the archetypal, low and lean, MCM sideboards that came later, it delivers a huge amount of storage across deep drawers and cupboards. But the thing we love the most is the slimline display shelf on the top, a quirky feature that sets this sideboard apart.

Description

This original, vintage sideboard is ‘sold as seen’. Overall it is in very good, used condition. The piece has been cleaned, inside and out, and the exterior surfaces have been restored. This process involving stripping away the original finish, followed by layers of oil and then a final wax polish and buff. The three, centred, deep drawers are beautifully made with angled fronts, dovetail joints and they slide with ease. Their interiors are very lightly marked inside through use but otherwise clean and tidy, and the top drawer is lined and sectioned, intended for cutlery. Both side cupboards have secure hinges, their original wooden handles securely attached, and closures in good working order.  The right cupboard has a fixed recessed shelf. There is a further feature shelf on top of the sideboard, creating a feature plinth. This could be easily unscrewed for a more stream-lined look. Commensurate with its age, there are minor signs of wear and tear both inside and out – superficial dents and scuffs here and there, which can be seen across our photos. This sideboard is beautifully crafted, thoughtfully designed and very solid. Do browse our photos for a good sense of its condition. If you have any questions or would like to view this piece, just get in touch.
