Sleek Vintage 1960s Teak Sideboard by Austinsuite
An unusual piece from reputable British maker, Austinsuite, made in the late 1960s, this slim teak sideboard is really very elegant, sitting on particularly long, tapered legs. We love the clean, minimalist design, sleek and pared back with subtle details like the darker bands of wood that run the width of the handles. With a depth from the wall of just 43 cm and those legs creating lots of space underneath, it doesn’t feel like bulky or space-demanding like so many MCM sideboards do.
Description
This is an original, vintage sideboard that is ‘sold as seen’. Overall, it is in good – very good, used condition. We have cleaned it and applied a natural beeswax polish to the exterior wood but otherwise the finish is original. All six drawers are well made with dovetail joints, have clean, tidy interiors and slide with ease. There are some minor scratches, faint darker patches and scuffs to the exterior wood as you would expect with a vintage piece of this age. This is primarily on the top surface. It’s not especially noticeable but please do refer to our photos. It’s a really well-made, practical piece of storage furniture that’s solidly constructed with no signs of repair. The gold make’s stamp can be seen inside the top middle drawer.
