B\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eeautifully proportioned, the sideboard has a distinctly Scandinavian influence, with a clean, minimalist façade that allows the warmth and grain of the teak to take centre stage. The slimline cupboard handles and discreet, hidden drawer pulls keep the profile exceptionally streamlined.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStorage is cleverly arranged across the full length of the piece.

Two generous shelved cupboards flank this, while three equally sized drawers run across the upper section, providing practical storage without interrupting the simplicity of the design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe teak has developed a \u003c\/span\u003erich tone and depth of grain that comes with age\u003cspan\u003e, and after a full restoration, gives the sideboard warmth while retaining the crisp, modern lines for which McIntosh furniture is so sought after.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFounded in Kirkcaldy, Fife, in 1869 by Alexander Henry McIntosh, \u003c\/span\u003eA.H. McIntosh \u0026amp; Co.\u003cspan\u003e became one of Scotland's most recognised furniture manufacturers. Although much of its post-war furniture carries a strong Danish Modern influence, McIntosh remained proudly Scottish, employing skilled local cabinetmakers and combining traditional furniture making with the increasingly progressive design language of the 1950s and 1960s. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigner \u003c\/span\u003eTom Robertson\u003cspan\u003e, who joined the company in 1948 and later became its head designer, was responsible for many of the firm's best-known pieces, including the celebrated Dunvegan sideboard, which has been found a few times in SA.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis particular sideboard is an unusually scarce McIntosh design and the first example of this model we have had in our store\u003cstrong\u003e. \u003c\/strong\u003eWith its dedicated drinks cabinet, slide-out serving surface, substantial storage and remarkably pared-back detailing, it is as practical as it is striking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA rare find from one of Britain's most collectible furniture manufacturers, and an outstanding statement sideboard for anyone looking for something beyond the more commonly seen McIntosh models.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe sideboard has been \u003c\/span\u003efully restored and is in very good restored condition\u003cspan\u003e, now structurally sound and ready for everyday use.

While we make every effort to restore our furniture to its original state, most pieces date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. As a result, and despite restoration, signs of their vintage nature and previous life may still be visible. Light traces of restoration may remain visible, consistent with authentic vintage furniture\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e In some cases, minor adjustments may also have been made during the restoration process to ensure the piece remains functional and usable.
