A wonderful example of the refined and highly functional design for which mcintosh is celebrated. Fully restored with great care, the sideboard has been gently hand-sanded and finished with hardwax oils, enhancing the warmth and grain of the teak while retaining a beautiful, understated satin sheen. The sideboard is in excellent restored condition, with one subtle characteristic to the top worth noting. There is a square-shaped variation in the colour of the teak, caused by an object such as a box having been placed on the top for many years. The area underneath was protected from light, so it has aged differently from the surrounding wood. We have carefully restored the top, but the colour variation could not be completely removed without unnecessarily altering the original veneer. Rather than overwork the surface, we have chosen to preserve the original teak and its history. With continued exposure to daylight, the colour can gradually become more even over time. The surrounding area can also be covered while the lighter section is exposed, helping the tones to ly harmonise. (zoom pictures to appreciate) the rest has an outstanding teak grain the design combines generous storage with elegant proportions. Two outward-opening cabinet doors reveal spacious cupboards with internal shelves, ideal for tableware, books or cherished possessions. To the left, a set of drawers provides additional storage, including a felt-lined top drawer designed for cutlery. A timeless and highly versatile piece, this sideboard would work beautifully in both contemporary and classic interiors, bringing warmth, character and authentic mid-century design to the room.
