A beautifully designed vintage teak 'Dunfermline' sideboard designed by Tom Robertson and made by renowned Scottish furniture manufacturer A.H. McIntosh & Co Ltd, dating from the 1960s and combining wonderfully elegant mid-century styling with exceptional storage and practicality.
The sideboard has a particularly striking design, featuring beautifully sculpted legs which flow seamlessly into the lower frame, giving the piece a wonderfully light and elegant appearance despite its generous proportions. The rich, warm teak has a lovely depth of colour and attractive grain throughout, complemented by the distinctive sculpted drawer handles and circular recessed cupboard pulls.
To the left are three generously proportioned drawers, the uppermost retaining its original red-lined cutlery compartments and dividers. The central double cupboard opens to reveal a spacious interior with a shaped shelf, offering plenty of useful storage for crockery, glassware and other household essentials.
To the right is a particularly appealing drinks cupboard, featuring a drop-down door and a pull-out serving shelf with a contrasting black surface. A wonderfully practical and characterful detail, perfect for creating a stylish little home bar.
The sideboard retains its original A.H. McIntosh manufacturer's label, confirming its Scottish heritage. With its beautiful proportions, thoughtful design and wonderfully distinctive detailing, this is a fabulous example of British mid-century furniture.
– Excellent Restored Condition
This beautiful sideboard is presented in excellent restored condition. The teak has been sympathetically refinished, bringing out its wonderfully rich, warm colour and attractive natural grain while retaining the character of the original piece.
All cupboards and drawers are clean and present well, with the original red-lined cutlery compartments and drinks cupboard features retained. There are just a few minor polished-in marks and gentle signs of age remaining, entirely in keeping with its vintage character.
Please take a close look through all photographs, as these form an important part of the description and show the condition, finish and beautiful detailing of the piece in greater detail.
A wonderfully versatile piece of furniture, this fabulous sideboard would make a stunning addition to a living room or dining room, offering generous storage alongside its timeless mid-century appeal. Equally at home in a contemporary or vintage-inspired interior, it is a beautiful combination of elegant design and everyday practicality.

Our restoration process
Preparation
We carefully assess every piece, identifying any damage, repairs or replacement parts it may need. Drawers may need new runners, handles can be missing or damaged, and joints may require repair or reinforcement. We look beyond the surface to uncover hidden defects, ensuring each piece is restored to work as it was originally intended.
Restoration
With over 20 years of experience, we know that the right restoration techniques can make all the difference. It’s a delicate process that takes patience, skill and attention to detail — one we’ve taken the time to perfect. Each piece is carefully and sensitively restored, preserving its original character and charm while giving it a new lease of life.
Finishing
Finally, we add the finishing touches — whether that’s painting, oiling or sealing, fitting new handles, hinges or catches, or simply giving the piece a final clean and polish. We make sure every piece is ready for modern living, giving it a new lease of life and a renewed sense of purpose, ready to be loved for generations to come.
Before and after
Each piece is carefully and sympathetically restored to preserve the character, charm and beautiful details that make it unique. The result is a truly individual piece of furniture, thoughtfully restored for
modern living and ready to bring warmth, personality and timeless style to your home for years to come.
