Teak Sideboard with Bi-Fold Doors by Arthur Edwards for White & Newton, 1966

A long shelved cupboard space sits behind two sets of cleverly designed bi-fold doors. Three drawers with hidden drawer pulls sit above the capacious cabinet. The stylish door handles and rounded drawer fronts are design highlights of this piece and makes it a truly eye-catching mid century credenza!

A strong linear form defines the stylish furniture produced by British furniture maker White and Newton. White and Newton of Portsmouth were on the cutting edge of furniture design and production in Britain throughout the mid 20th century. Under the design direction of the talented Arthur Edwards, the firm produced stunning high end furniture often defined by its clean modern lines and stark linear form. The company favoured the use of teak as a staple design material but also on occasion embraced luxurious timbers such as rosewood for its high end aesthetic. White and Newton furniture was a hit with trendsetters of the day and today the timeless designs remain cool and contemporary.
