Mid-Century Sculptural Sideboard in Meranti and Wrought Iron

About the Item

Sideboard, meranti, mahogany, wrought iron, Europe, 1960s This sideboard, dating from the 1960s, immediately stands out with its unusual shape and rugged material contrast. The body of the piece is partially constructed from meranti, a hardwood known for its rich, warm hue and subtle grain. The cabinet stands on two large, X-shaped legs. These intersecting wooden supports are positioned at either end of the cabinet and are angled outward, creating a visual break from the otherwise rectangular form above. The thick timbers used for the legs enhance the cabinet’s sturdy, grounded character. What makes the piece particularly interesting is how the surface is broken up by an array of hardware and unexpected cutouts. The wrought iron hinges and brackets are not hidden – they're exaggerated, even oversized. They function structurally but also visually, slicing the warm wood with stark black lines. There’s something medieval about it. One of the more intriguing aspects of the cabinet is the series of circular cut-outs along the sides backed with fine mesh, referring to nautical portholes. The carved irregular ridges of the chest are subtle yet defining features. Along the perimeter and the full surface of the legs, a continuous rhythm of fine gouge cuts contour the piece, endowing the piece with an organic stance. In sum, this sideboard is not the refined elegance of high modernism, but rather a kind of honest, slightly raw craftsmanship that reflects the broader experimental tendencies of the 1960s. Kindly note that the piece is in good, used condition with signs of use, including some scratches and discoloration on the top. For further details, we encourage you to reach out to our team of design specialists. The mahogany type of this piece does not require an export license.
