Peck & Hills Sideboard

Product detailed description

Long sideboard produced in the 1960s by the American company Peck & Hills. A prestigious furniture brand, it ranked amongst the largest American furniture manufacturers and wholesale distributors from the early 20th century onwards, with its own showrooms across the United States.

The sideboard is divided into three sections and contains six large drawers. Another three smaller drawers are concealed behind the central section, adorned with slender slats, whose doors slides into the body of the sideboard. It is made from a combination of veneer and solid American walnut, stained a rich brown colour, and the handles and central door are finished in an even darker shade of brown. The surface is covered in dark speckles, which are characteristic of American furniture design from this period and are not a defect. A row of five dark wooden inlays in the shape of rounded squares runs along both edges of the top panel. Despite its length, the sideboard has a visually light appearance thanks to its recessed, black-lacquered plinth.

The sideboard has been thoroughly cleaned and slightly retouched in places. It is in very good original condition, with only minor scuffs and cracks in the varnish. The divider in the top left drawer is loose.
