Lovingly restored to its former glory, this exceptional mid-century teak sideboard by Greaves & Thomas has been carefully cleaned and re-oiled, bringing out the rich depth and warmth of the timber while preserving its authentic character. Free from marks or blemishes, it stands today in excellent vintage condition, ready to grace a new home with elegance and functionality.
Crafted in the 1960s and retaining its original maker’s label, this is a rare example of British mid-century design. Based in London, Greaves & Thomas were highly regarded for their high-quality, modernist furniture that blended refined British craftsmanship with the clean, functional lines of Scandinavian design. Their pieces were sold through prestigious retailers and remain prized today for their timeless elegance and exceptional build.
The design is both stylish and highly functional. To the left, a single-door cupboard features a removable shelf, providing adaptable storage to suit your needs. Beside it, three drawers include a top drawer fitted with its original red felt-lined cutlery division, a detail that showcases the quality and thoughtfulness of manufacture.
To the right, two cupboard doors are arranged with different functions: one opens conventionally to reveal versatile shelving, while the other cleverly drops down to form a cocktail and drinks cabinet. The pull-down door is fitted with a wipe-clean laminate surface, perfect for preparing and serving drinks. Inside, a shaped shelf provides storage for glassware and bottles, set back to allow room for taller items such as wine or spirits.
Every aspect of this sideboard reflects excellent craftsmanship, from the dovetail joints and smooth-gliding drawers to its beautifully balanced proportions. Its restored finish enhances the natural teak grain, ensuring it looks as striking today as when it was first made.
