bring timeless elegance to your living room with this stunning vintage teak sideboard, straight from the uk. Designed in the 1960s by renowned british designer frank guille for austinsuite, this low cabinet perfectly embodies the scandinavian and mid-century modernist spirit.

thanks to its balanced proportions and low height, this sideboard easily finds its place as a storage unit, entryway console, or media stand in a modern interior.

a british modernist design with remarkable finishes

this piece features a clean, minimalist front with six spacious drawers, harmoniously arranged in three columns. Each drawer has a sculpted handle, a signature element of frank guille's work. Furthermore, the tapered solid wood legs lighten the overall silhouette and highlight the warmth of the wood grain.

the dovetail joints visible on the drawers attest to the robust craftsmanship of this english piece.

a meticulous restoration, carried out according to traditional methods

to enhance this period piece, we undertook a painstaking restoration. The entire piece was sanded and then treated with oil to reveal its golden sheen and provide lasting protection to the wood grain.

overall condition: very good vintage condition. The wood retains a superb natural patina. A few signs of age and deeper scratches remain visible on the right side of the sideboard; subtle to the naked eye, they do not detract from the structure's solidity and attest to its authentic history.
