This is a vintage sideboard by Beauty, one of the most representative furniture brands of the British mid-century.
This unique sideboard is a Danish-style arrangement made of teak wood. The design is a mix of playfulness and coolness, with straight lines, a design on the front panel, and wooden ring handles. The fact that it is less available than G-PLAN or McIntosh also tickles the hearts of collectors. It can be used for a variety of purposes, such as an AV board or a low sideboard.
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.
Beautility is a long-established furniture manufacturer that represents the British mid-century era along with G-PLAN and McIntosh. Simon Sadovsky founded "Sadovsky" Cabinet Makers in 1896. It later changed its name to "Beautility Furniture" in 1929. Its products are characterized by a wide variety of unique handles and clean, stylish leg designs.
