Unusual Midcentury Mahogany Glazed Sideboard

This unusual, statement sideboard is rather weird and wonderful… and we’re here for it. Its unique design features a generous glazed bookcase / display cabinet, along with a drinks cabinet and drawer with a removable cutlery tray. It’s significantly less wide than a regular sideboard and yet deeper with a sloped face, and taller too at just over 80cm in height. It’s made in solid mahogany which is very rare indeed especially for midcentury pieces – they’re more often than not, predominantly veneer with some solid elements, such as drawer fronts and of course, usually in teak. The construction / build is unusual too. It’s been made by someone highly skilled in wood with joints we’ve never seen before and details like the extreme angles on the legs, supporting this heavyweight piece. It’s a highly unconventional, vintage cabinet that has lead us to believe it was perhaps a bespoke commission, a one-off made to someone’s specific wants and tastes. We wonder if it might be American or Italian in origin as we don’t believe its British or Scandinavian? Who knows, and that makes it even more special.

Description

This original, vintage sideboard is ‘sold as seen’. Overall it is in good – very good, used condition. The piece has been cleaned and checked inside and out, and a natural beeswax polish applied and buffed on the external surfaces, but otherwise the glossy, lacquered finish is original. The main bookcase / display cabinet has a fixed shelf inside with a interior is clean and tidy. The two glass door slide well in their runners. The drawer features a removable cutlery tray and again all interiors are in very good, clean order. The lower cupboard features a fall door and was intended for bottles. There are light signs of wear and tear inside as shown. The brass handles are original and securely attached. The external surfaces have some light marks and scuffs which overall is minor – do look through our photos for a true sense of its condition. There’s no maker’s mark but this is a very well made piece with no areas of concern. Any queries, please get in touch.
