1950s Ellipses Sideboard by Gordon Russell

£1,295

Known as the Ellipses sideboard due to its striking pattern of overlapping circles and ellipses, this piece was made by Gordon Russell and designed by their chief designer W H Russell in the 1950s. The frame is made of mahogany and the door and drawer fronts veneered in Bombay rosewood. Normally the pattern is created by routing through to white wood underneath but unusually with this example the pattern has been created by inlaying beech veneer into the front panels, something that requires a very skilled hand and we have never seen on any other example. This sideboard contains two drawers, one with a baize lined compartment for cutlery and a double cupboard with a cutaway shelf for bottles.

The item has been refinished and is generally in a very good condition with the odd sign of wear and tear and what we believe to be a factory repair to the top left hand side of the left door.
