White&Newton / UK White&Newton Vintage Sideboard #36864

This is a vintage sideboard by White & Newton, a representative of British mid-century design.

This sideboard is extremely well-finished, from the design to the smallest detail. It has a similar appeal to Danish furniture. The precise finishing of the details is the sure handiwork of first-class craftsmen. This is a masterpiece that strongly conveys the spirit of Scandinavian furniture, which strives to bring out the beauty of the structure and shape, as well as the texture of the wood.

After the war, modern Scandinavian design became very popular, and Scandinavian-style furniture began to be made in the UK as well. The UK's high level of technology and production capacity, which had a foundation in traditional furniture making, made it possible to produce high-quality furniture. Representative British manufacturers include G-PLAN, which was one of the first to adopt Danish design, and the long-established Scottish manufacturers AHMcIntosh and Nathan. There were also many other excellent Scandinavian-style furniture manufacturers. Scandinavian-style furniture made in the UK during the mid-century period is still highly regarded today for its quality and design that is comparable to authentic Scandinavian furniture, and has become increasingly popular in recent years.
