The piece was manufactured on May 10, 1966, by VEB Deutsche Werkstätten Hellerau in Dresden. The original manufacturer's label is intact, documenting its origin and the model designation 427/K.

The warm, vibrant wood grain, the clean lines of the front, and the gently curved base give the sideboard a particularly harmonious appearance. The newly installed, round wooden handles echo the design language of the 1960s but are not original.

Three spacious drawers with light-colored plastic linings are located in the center. Two side-hinged doors on the left and right provide additional storage space. Behind each door is a height-adjustable glass shelf. The interiors are lined with a darker wood veneer, creating a beautiful contrast to the lighter exterior.

The body is made of beech and spruce wood with elm veneer. Its well-balanced proportions make this sideboard a versatile piece of furniture – whether as a lowboard in the living room, a sideboard in the dining room, or as storage in the study.

➡️ Dimensions:

163 x 45 x 65 cm (width x depth x height)

➡️ Condition/Refurbishment:

The sideboard is in very good, carefully refurbished vintage condition. The wood surfaces have been thoroughly cleaned, refinished, and then relacquered. This beautifully highlights the characteristic grain of the elm veneer.

The original handles have been replaced with matching wooden handles. Minor signs of age and wear may be present in some places and are consistent with the character of an original piece of furniture from the 1960s.

The sideboard is sturdy, well-maintained, and ready for immediate use. The original manufacturer's label is intact. This piece has an attribution mark,
