Oak Sideboard by Simon Simpson (Norwich)

For sale is a beautiful oak sideboard (dresser base) from the renowned Norfolk workshop of Simon Simpson. This piece (Model 3111) is a fine example of English cabinet-making, finished in a bespoke "Old Oak" Special patina that provides a rich, authentic aged look. Simon Simpson furniture is highly regarded for its traditional joinery and quality of construction, making this a durable investment piece that fits perfectly in both traditional and modern homes. • Style: Tudor/Jacobean Revival. • Design: Features a practical 5-drawer configuration (two long drawers over three central graduated drawers) flanked by two spacious cupboards with arched, fielded panels. • Hardware: Ornate brass "swan-neck" handles and traditional H-hinges. The back is made of plywood. This beautifully crafted piece is as functional as it is elegant, offering substantial storage for any part of the house. In a dining room, it could serve as a buffet for linens and glassware; in the living room, its solid oak top could make a TV stand with plenty of room for electronics. It is equally at home in a large hallway, providing a grand first impression while tucking away shoes, bags, and everyday essentials. In good used condition with a lovely colour and some of the minor surface scratch marks and signs of use. Likely dates to the late 1980s or early 1990s. The drawers run smoothly with traditional dovetail joints.
