Vintage Remploy Oak Tall Sideboard / Writing Bureau

An unusual piece from British midcentury furniture maker, Remploy, it combines their highboard / tall sideboard with a writing bureau. It’s actually a very neat, practical piece because although it has height, it’s slim in width and shallow in depth. It would be a perfect work and storage station where space is limited. Below is a double-door cabinet with a height-adjustable shelf, going up to two discreet drawers. Pull down the main front door to create a writing desk with further pigeonhole storage inside, and then upwards to a glass-fronted bookcase, again with a height-adjustable shelf. It’s in fantastic order and its design, while rather utilitarian and plain, means it will quietly fit into any style of interior.
