Cities Certificate (Non-Transferable licence) No. 595871/01 Provenance: The sideboard was purchased directly by the previous from Archie Shine himself at his Clapton factory in 1969. His father who had a business in Lea Bridge Road a few minutes’ walk from the factory, knew Archie, well and introduced them. The sideboard, as shown in the showroom, had a hotplate under a lid in the top, but he did not want this so this sideboard with a custom solid top was made specially for him. It has been in his possession ever since for 52 years. Background: Robert Heritage was one of the top British furniture furniture designers of the mid 20th century . His collaboration with the high end maker Archie Shine carried on for many years , but he also designed pieces for many other less expensive British makers from the mid 1950s until well into the 1970s as well as being a highly influential lecturer and professor of furniture design . The great thing about Robert Heritage is that he came up with so many totally different design features , so there is no one Heritage look . He definitely was not a ” one trick pony ” as the variation in designs on sideboards alone is tremendous, yet all manage to look modern clean and contemporary even 50 or 60 years after they were designed . Archie Shine was passionate about the pieces his company made, If a piece wasn’t 100% right he wouldn’t sell it, he’d rather destroy an item rather than have it leave his workshops with a minor fault, Archie Shine’s standards were high so the furniture his company made was always top quality and high end, Archie Shine pieces were mainly sold through exclusive high end retailers like Harrods of London and Heals particularly in the 1960s when there were no financial constraints.
