Description

A very large Vintage Mid Century Teak, Afromosia and Sapele Knighstbridge sideboard/credenza designed by Robert Heritage for Archie Shine.

Standing at just over 244cm in length the Knightsbridge really was the Grand Daddy of all Heritage’s amazing sideboards; not to mention the combination of wood that gave it a wonderfully aesthetic appeal. It’s therefore a long sideboard that would naturally suit a large room or hallway.

The drawer section is ribbed Afromosia (which is a harder African teak variant with a richer darker colour) whereas the main cupboard and top section is a more traditional golden teak. But in addition, Heritage has finished the main doors off in Sapele which is a lighter cross cut Mahogany variant that creates a ribbon grain effect as it catches the light – the doors can therefore look lighter or darker in colour as you walk around the piece.

As regards storage, there’s a lot on offer. The sideboard has 4 large drawers with beautifully detailed handles and with stylised ribbed fronts – and then there are two sets of doors which reveal two large two tier storage sections. And finally, a lovely detail is the raised lip at the back which stops your keys and nick nacks falling behind the unit!

All in all then it’s a wonderful sideboard, that’s not only incredibly stylish but also very practical with loads of storage space; and that’s also presented in very good vintage condition. And even better, Heritage's pieces have started to really shoot up in value over the last couple of years. He's often been overlooked in the past but that's changing now as in the mid range bracket for sideboards (around 2 - 4k), his sideboards are every bit as good as whatever the Danes produced in the same price bracket.

Dimensions
H79 x W244 x D46cm (note that this is the main height of the sideboard top, the narrow lip at the back is a little higher at 82cm – just in case the height is critical for your space)

Seller Reviews

    Cancellations and Returns

    Last updated: 24th March 2025

    We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.

    However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.

    To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.

    Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.

    Can I cancel an order?

    There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.

    If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.

    Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.

    Can I return an order?

    We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.

    The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).

    You can return your order if...

    It isn't what you expected

    If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.

    You change your mind

    If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.

    It's damaged in transit

    In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.

    If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.

    What can't I return?

    Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.

    Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.

    Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.

    I'm eligible for a return. Now what?

    To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.

    How will I receive my refund?

    Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.

    All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
