About this vintage design furniture

Robert Heritage Hamilton Teak Console Table Desk by Archie Shine England Circa 1969 Mid Century British Design Robert Heritage Teak ‘Hamilton’ Console Table or Desk produced by Archie Shine and retailed through Harrods Circa 1969, the rectangular top over three fluted front drawers with circular brass drawer pulls raised on tall tapering legs united by ‘H’ stretcher, wonderful design perfect as a console, desk or vanity unit. Background: Robert Heritage was one of the top British furniture designers of the mid-20th century. His collaboration with the high-end maker Archie Shine carried on for many years, but he also designed pieces for many other less expensive British makers from the mid-1950s until well into the 1970s as well as being a highly influential lecturer and professor of furniture design. The great thing about Robert Heritage is that he came up with so many totally different design features, so there is no one Heritage look. He definitely was not a ” one-trick pony ” as the variation in designs on sideboards alone is tremendous, yet all manage to look modern clean, and contemporary even 50 or 60 years after they were designed. Archie Shine was passionate about the pieces his company made, If a piece wasn’t 100 right he wouldn’t sell it, he’d rather destroy an item rather than have it leave his workshops with a minor fault, Archie Shine’s standards were high so the furniture his company made was always top quality and high end, Archie Shine pieces were mainly sold through exclusive high-end retailers like Harrods of London and Heals particularly in the 1960s when there were no finance constraints. This item is in superb vintage condition, there may be some minor polished marks and scratches as to be expected for its age, please see photographs for more detail. Dimensions Height: 76cm; Width: 137cm; Depth: 46cm Floor to Knee: 58cm
