Rare Vintage 1960s Teak Cabinet / Sideboard by AH McIntosh
A rare and wonderful thing, this compact, 1960s sideboard / double door cabinet was made by highly reputable maker, AH McIntosh of Kirkcaldy. They were a renowned British midcentury manufacturer, greatly influenced by the Scandinavian aesthetic of the time, and you can see this echoed in their pieces… clean lines, balanced design, practicality. Their choice of quality materials and craftsmanship were superior and the fact McIntosh furniture is still highly prized today is a testament to this. This neatly proportioned piece gives much versatility as its less space-demanding than a regular MCM sideboard but there is still a great deal of storage space. It would serve well as a TV / media unit, as well as a sideboard / credenza in a lounge or dining room. We love the vertical, slender handles in darker afromosia and the tall peaks of wood grain across the door fronts.

Description
This is an original, vintage cabinet that is ‘sold as seen’. It is in good – very good, used condition. We’ve cleaned it inside and out, applying a natural beeswax polish to the exterior surfaces but otherwise the finish is original as it’s in such good order. Both doors open and close with ease, with working hinges and closures. There are two fixed shelves on either side of the cabinet, with the one on the right recessed, originally intended to house bottles at the front. The interiors are clean and tidy, in very good order. There are some minor knocks and scuffs to the exterior wood, primarily to the thin trim on the left side. We have shown this in our photos and in the overall context of the piece, it’s not very noticeable. The base and legs carry light signs of aging / use as well as you might expect but again, nothing we feel that detracts from the appeal of the table. The original McIntosh maker’s plate can be seen inside the left door. Do browse our photos for a good sense of this sideboard’s condition and tone. If you have any questions to ask or would like to come and see this piece, just get in touch with an email or call.
