Mid Century Sideboard By Robert Heritage For Archie Shine

Provenance

This beautiful Hamilton Rosewood Sideboard comes from the home of a retired architect in Hampstead, London, who originally purchased the set new in the early 1960s after spotting it in Heal’s. He was drawn to its clean Danish-influenced lines and the rich, almost sculptural rosewood grain—details he felt echoed the modernist principles he admired in his own work.

Over the decades, this stunning sideboard became the heart of many family meals, late-night planning sessions, and lively dinner parties, always admired for its subtle elegance and style and cocktail/drinks cabinet side that made it so versatile. The turquoise-green wool seat pads were reupholstered in the mid-1970s by a local craftsman, chosen by his wife to bring a pop of colour to their otherwise neutral-toned interior.

As their children grew and moved away, the sideboard was lovingly maintained and occasionally used for special occasions. Now downsizing, the family hopes this cherished piece finds a new home where it can continue to be used and appreciated, just as it was in theirs for over six decades.
