The design is characterized by clean, rectangular lines and a formally reduced elegance, further enhanced by the veneered precious wood.

The front features four doors, whose surfaces are covered with a striking mirrored veneer pattern. This is most likely walnut root wood (also called "walnut burl"), which creates a particularly decorative effect with its vibrant, flame-like grain in symmetrical reflection.

The veneer is masterfully executed, as evidenced by the precise joint patterns and the framing. The body surface, especially the top panel, exhibits a lighter, more subdued grain. The fine decorative milling on the upper edge of the top panel lends the piece additional craftsmanship.

The piece stands on a slightly recessed base with tapered, flared legs, which lend the voluminous body a visual lightness.

The interior of the sideboard is functionally divided: on the left are two drawers and open shelves, while in the middle and right are numerous adjustable shelves. The interior surfaces are light, birch veneered or coated, which ensures good lighting conditions inside. The small, angular wooden handles are flush-mounted and harmonize discreetly with the overall design.

Condition: The sideboard is in very well-maintained, original condition. The wood surfaces display a beautiful, even patina without any fading. The veneer patterns are intact, with no flaking or tension. Minor age-related surface dullness and minimal pressure marks are visible upon close inspection, but do not impair either appearance or function. The doors close cleanly, the hinges are secure, and the interior is complete and in very good condition. Overall, an excellently preserved, authentic piece of furniture with high-quality craftsmanship.
