Description
For sale is an extremely rare Liberty's sideboard without the top. Described as an "Urban Myth". Often attributed to Leonard Wyburd & his studio.
No example is known to exist apart from one in the Auckland Museum which was borrowed by the Victoria and Albert museum for an exhibition in 1975. This is an academic rarity. Some date at 1893 others 1893-5. Only a handful of these were probably ever made!
The fourth photo shows the identical sideboard mentioned above currently in the Auckland Museum with the top half. Please see pages 156-159 of Liberty's Furniture by Daryl Bennet.
I want this to go to someone who will appreciate its value and rarity & like myself knows its true value. Its my opinion that as far as any Uk commercial arts and crafts sideboard goes, this is the pinnacle. This sideboard has the original dark Liberty finish.

Its a two man lift, very heavy.
Condition report:
Untouched. Original. Some signs of use. The left and right sides tops have a wooden strip added as can be seen in the photos. This would appear to match the rest of the sideboard in colour/finish/quality of oak. All the copper work is in very good order and a great patina. Original darkened / almost black/dark brown finish . Quarter sawn oak used extensively throughout the sideboard. Some knocks on the legs and the odd marks ; as one would expect some signs of wear with the age of the sideboard. Its had a life and was with the same family for forty years. All the locks work on both doors and drawers. There are two keys with long handles . So all the drawers and doors can be locked, unlocked with the right key. There is a five inch (approx) piece of oak which is clearly visible above the top drawer where the lock is so on the horizonal frame. At some stage this must have been inserted. It has a different colour but this can be dyed/stained to match. The oak grain is similar to the rest of the sideboard. The left side door has a 1-2 mm gap where it stands closed against the framework .I,m suggesting any competent restorer could rectify this or one could just live with this. I would describe as almost very good condition commensurate with age etc.
Please note there are a few examples that have come to light since this advert was listed .
The sideboard can be now bought for a sensible offer .
It is extremely heavy .Two really strong can manage it on a ground floor !

Cancellations and Returns
Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.
We've extended our usual return period for the holidays. Any purchases made in December 2023 on gifting items can be returned up until 31 January 2024.
To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item’s Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.
Can I cancel an order?
If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason that they do not want to purchase the Goods before the Goods have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the customer’s specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the costs of delivery are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
Consumers based in the UK and European Union can request to return the Goods on Vinterior up to 14 days after the Goods have been received. Once accepted, the buyer is in charge of the shipment and should organise it as soon as possible (except in the case of a return of faulty Goods).
To initiate a return, the Customer must click on Create a return on the order page on the Site. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer’s specific requirements.
Additionally, the Customer may not return an item for "inaccurate listing” reason when its dimensions or other characteristics do not fit its requirements. We strongly recommend that buyer measures all access areas prior to making a purchase.
If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
In case of a return, the costs of delivery (i.e., outbound delivery costs when Goods are sent from the Vendor to a Customer) are non-refundable.
The Customer is responsible for organising the return of Goods and for paying delivery costs. Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt and refund the Customer. If an item is returned to the seller damaged, or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund and the seller may have to send it back to you (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged in transportation or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
In case of damage in transit for all items, Vinterior must be informed. Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf the Vendor with delivery company Proovia. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if it has been altered by the Customer in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
Price match guarantee
If you find the same item listed at a lower price (including delivery) elsewhere, we'll match it for you.
