A mid century vintage walnut sideboard designed by Robert Heritage. This was made in England, it dates from the 1960’s.
There one cupboard, a central drop down drinks cabinet with a drawer above and then a further three drawers to the right hand side. The lower drawer in the centre is a double depth drawer, and all have solid oak lined interiors with fine hand cut dovetailed joints. The central drawer has a baize lining and divided for cutlery. The three drawers to the side, the bottom two drawers are in fact one a rather large drawer for unknown cables and ‘useful things’. Each drawer / cabinet has beautifully turned pull handles.
The sideboard sits on sturdy yet elegant tapered legs.
This is a very rare sideboard in this configuration, they did a longer version of this with an extra cupboard, however this smaller version is a little easier to fit into a home.
The item has been gently cleaned but not restored and is generally in good condition with the odd sign of wear. Please review the photos – happy to answer any questions.

H73cm x W198cm x D45cm
