A beautifully designed compact mid-century teak sideboard designed by Victor Bramwell (V.B.) Wilkins for G-Plan as part of their celebrated Fresco range.

This piece features a sleek and practical layout, with three smooth running drawers across the top – the central drawer fitted with dividers, ideal for cutlery or smaller items. Below sit four cupboard doors opening to generous storage compartments, perfect for dining ware, household essentials, or neatly tucking away media equipment. The distinctive sculpted teak handles and elegantly framed cupboard doors are set off by the signature Fresco sleigh-style base with stretcher support, giving the sideboard a light yet sturdy presence.

Versatile in use, this sideboard works equally well as a dining room storage piece, a drinks cabinet, or a stylish media unit for the lounge. Its compact proportions make it especially well-suited for modern homes where space is at a premium, while still offering plenty of functional storage.

In exceptional vintage condition, with only the lightest signs of age, this is a striking example of Wilkins’ design for G-Plan – showcasing beautiful teak grain and timeless mid-century styling.
