Large Midcentury 1960s Light Teak Sideboard by Scandart

At just over two metres wide, this sideboard is a gentle giant. Made by British maker, Scandart, as the name suggests it was greatly influenced by its Scandinavian contemporaries and you can really see that here. It dates from the 1960s and despite its substantial size, it’s a beautifully balanced piece of design sitting on neat, tapered legs. Unfussy and minimalist, it lets the wood take centre stage, rather than design features. The golden teak is particularly handsome and makes it stand out from the midcentury sideboard crowd. There is a tremendous amount of storage inside across cupboards, drawers and a drinks cabinet so if you have a wall width, it’s a one-stop piece for stowing away clutter. The condition is cracking. It’s undergone a partial restoration as the top required a little TLC but it’s now ready for another sixty years of service.

Description

This is an original, vintage piece that is ‘sold as seen’. It is in good – very good, used condition. We have thoroughly serviced and cleaned the sideboard inside and out. The top has been restored, a process that involved chemically stripping back the original surface (gentler than sanding ensuring the vintage character of the piece isn’t removed entirely), followed by layers of matt varnish for a durable, consistent finish, so a partial restoration. All other surfaces have been revived with a natural beeswax polish to nourish and restore shine but otherwise  the finish is original. There are two outer cupboards, each with a removable shelf inside. Although clean and tidy inside, there are some remnants of tape / paper where they look to have been lined at some point. There is a drinks cabinet in the centre with a lined fall-door for mixing drinks and a further shelf inside. All hinges, handles and closures are in very good working order. The three drawers are well-made with dovetail joints and they slide well. The central drawer is lined and sectioned for cutlery. All interiors are clean and tidy. There are minor knocks and blemishes here and there but nothing to flag – please refer to our photos. It is stable and solid, a well-made item with no repairs or areas of concern. There is no maker’s mark but we attribute it to Scandart as it’s a well-documented model of theirs. Please browse our photos for an accurate account of this item. Any queries, do get in touch.

Note: This is a large, heavy item that cannot be dismantled so please be mindful of this if considering it for your home.
