This superb sideboard, made by Brenner of London, is a fabulous example of Art Deco design of the era.  Along with a Bakelite makers plate, it also has a Bakelite ‘Kitemark’; the Kitemark was introduced in 1903 – it is a UK product and service quality certification mark which is owned and operated by the British Standards Institute (BSI).  The numbers 1960 do not represent a date, as often mistaken, it is a registered BIS number.  It features;

• Solid oak timber construction
• circa 1930’s / 40’s
• superb hand-carved features
• stepped / break-front design
• 3 dovetail-joined drawers (the centre one is a felt-lined base cutlery drawer)
• hidden finger-grip handles
• 2 door cabinet
• single fixed height level shelf
• bracket feet
• Bakelite makers plate; Brenner Product London

Condition overview; in good condition, relative to its age, it is a very solid, beautifully crafted piece.  The doors and drawers all work well.  As expected on a used piece of this vintage, it displays general wear, knock and surface marks but nothing major to note.
