A wonderful and very rare mid century sideboard, made in England around the 1960s by Gordon Russell. The rarity is in the detail. It shows British cabinetmaking at its finest and most adventurous. The sideboard is made out of two types of wood: Brazilian rosewood veneered exterior with a mahogany structure. The long sideboard features striking zebrano/zebra walnut front, cool scalloped wood border to the top, slick door handles and tapered legs.
