Beautiful vintage sideboard designed by John Herbert for A. Younger Furniture, winner of a 1960 Furniture Makers' Guild design award. This piece from the Volnay collection features solid afromosia (African teak) top, sides, base and legs, contrasted by teak veneer door and drawer fronts with turned afromosia handles. Design cues include a subtle outward curve to the top surface, slightly rounded and raised sides, and beautifully tapered legs on a graceful stretcher base. Four dovetailed center drawers are flanked by cabinets on either side, each with a fixed-height shelf, and the top drawer is felt-lined with removable flatware dividers. It's a very high-quality piece in good vintage condition, with some expected minor wear and minor discoloration.
66" long, 19.5" deep at the center, 18" deep at the sides, 31.75" high on the top, 32.75" high at the sides.
