Description
A sleek and stylish 1960s sideboard from the British maker Vanson, designed by Peter Hayward. This piece, with beautiful teak and rosewood grain patterns, benefits from four central drawers with rosewood drawer pulls. Inside the top drawer is a felt lined cutlery divider. Two shelved cupboard spaces, with removable shelves and hidden ‘handles’, sit either side of the drawers. The attractive shaping of the legs beneath the main cabinet is another design highlight of this sideboard. The convex shaping of the sideboard’s ends also sets it apart.
Peter Hayward established his reputation as a furniture designer in the 1950s -70s. With an impressive client list that included G-Plan, Parker Knoll, Greaves & Thomas, Uniflex, Race Furniture and not forgetting Heals and Son in London. Several of his designs were selected for the Design Council and Design Index and because this acclaim represented British design in the UK and abroad until his death in 2005.
This mid century modern sideboard is structurally sound, in nice condition and ready for your home. There is some historic ‘rippling’ to the top surface. This is minimal and stable. We’ve had the top surface stripped and refinished by a professional furniture restorer so it remains robust and reliable. Very tricky to capture this in photographs as it’s so minimal. Please call or whatsapp Stuart if you have any questions or would like a video tour.
