Description
An amazing high-end 1960s teak sideboard from one of the great British mid century designers, Robert Heritage, for the revered London maker Archie Shine. This stylish sideboard has a bank of four long drawers to the left, the top drawer with its felt lined cutlery divider in place. To the right of the drawers are two large cupboard spaces. The detail to the drawer fronts is stunning. Other design highlights include the little retaining edge that runs along the rear of the top of the cabinet. As with all Archie Shine, Robert Heritage pieces it is of great quality and was only sold at very high end retailers such as Harrods.
Robert Heritage designed furniture for a number of British makers in the 1950s, 60s and 70s but is best known for his work for the top quality London maker Archie Shine. Archie Shine furniture was retailed by Heals and a few independent up-market provincial retailers. Robert Heritage was also an influential Professor of Furniture at the Royal College of Art from 1974-1985 .
The exterior of this beautiful credenza is in super condition as we’ve had the top, front and sides refinished by a professional furniture restorer. The shelf within the right hand cupboard space has been cut down at some point.
