crafted in the golden decade of the 1960s by the revered hands of john herbert for the esteemed a. Younger, this long sideboard is a testament to english craftsmanship at its finest — a creation from the sequence collection, where form meets quiet nobility.

hewn from rich teak and adorned with afromosia accents, this piece rests gracefully on tall, tapering legs, its stature dignified yet unassuming. The design embraces a symmetrical harmony: a central bank of four drawers flanked on either side by double-door cupboards, offering both visual balance and practical elegance.

note the subtle curvature that refines each joint, an artisan’s whisper in wood, where grace meets structure. The integrated afromosia handles are sculpted with care — neither ostentatious nor plain — but rather, deeply respectful of material and form. The contrasting hues of warm teak and dark afromosia sing in quiet duet, embodying a mid-century reverence for natural beauty and enduring function.

a piece not merely of furniture, but of heritage — this sideboard carries with it the soul of an era, the discipline of fine joinery, and the poetry of design that endures.
