Vintage 1950s Model R414 Tall Mahogany Sideboard by Gordon Russell

This is one of those rare, extra special pieces that might never cross our path again… the stunning R414 mahogany sideboard, designed by WH ‘Curly’ Russell in the mid-fifties for Gordon Russell. The warm, honey tones and the soft, striped patination of the mahogany veneer fronts and external surfaces are simply gorgeous. And the solid mahogany trim creates a subtle note of distinction and definition. The cabinet sits on long, elegantly tapered, solid mahogany legs and the drawers and doors are finished with the original round brass handles. Inside there is a full width, fixed shelf with a cutaway on one side for bottles, and one of the lower drawers has a lined cutlery section. It comes in its original condition. An outstanding example of British midcentury design at its very finest, beautifully designed and beautifully made.

Description

This original, vintage sideboard is ‘sold as seen’. Overall it is in good – very good, used condition. It has been checked and cleaned inside and out with a natural beeswax polish applied, but otherwise the finish is intact and original. The two cabinet doors have their original closures in good working order. Inside there is a full width, fixed shelf with a cutaway on one side to accommodate bottles. There are some ring marks and light signs of use to the interior, shown in our photos. The two lower drawers slide with ease, are well constructed with dovetail joints and have clean, tidy interiors. The right hand drawer has a lined, cutlery section. The original brass handles have been restored and are securely attached. The exterior wood carries some minor imperfections, knocks and sunlight fading to the high-gloss finish, including a small veneer chip to the back right hand corner and some wear to the front right door edge, both shown in our photos. This is wear and tear is reflected in our price. It’s very well-made, solid and stable with no signs of repair or areas of concern. The Gordon Russell plate is on the back of the piece. Do take a moment to browse our photos for a good sense of this piece’s condition and colour. If you have questions or would like to view it, please drop us a line or give us a call.
