Description
Most sideboards give you one good face and a plain board at the back. This one is finished on all four sides, so it can sit against a wall, turn a corner, or stand out in the middle of a room with nothing to hide.
The carcass is engineered board, clad entirely in hand-cut leather — wrapped over the top rail, folded around every corner and carried down to a solid wood plinth base. Engineered board is the deliberate choice over solid timber here: across this width it holds its shape through humidity rather than splitting or warping at the corners the way a solid-wood carcass eventually will. Vintage kilim is inset into both cabinet doors, laid across the top either side of a plain leather centre panel, and carried the full height of both flanks in three stacked bands. Every panel is framed by a leather band and held with a run of solid brass domed studs, in the manner of a trunk built to survive a sea crossing. The back is fully finished and bound in the same leather, with riveted corner caps.
Three graduated drawers run down the centre on soft-close runners that draw themselves shut the last inch. Either side, a full-height door swings open on concealed hinges to a single deep compartment — sized for platters and table linen, bar bottles, or files, depending on the room you put it in. Everything opens by thick leather strap handles riveted through solid brass mounts, sized to be pulled with a whole hand rather than two fingers.
Each kilim panel is hand-cut from a vintage rug, so no two sideboards are alike. The exact pattern, colours and weave will differ from the photographs — that one-of-a-kind character is the essence of the piece.
The leather is finished with a light wax rather than a heavy pigment. It will mark, warm and deepen where hands fall most often, and the brass will dull to a soft amber. Both are expected, and both improve the piece.

Your piece is built after you order it rather than taken off a shelf, so we’d rather you check these measurements against your room first — made-to-order pieces can’t be returned or exchanged. Being handmade, finished dimensions may vary by a centimetre or two.
If these proportions aren’t quite right for your space, we can change them. Speak to a design consultant before you order and we’ll build the piece to your measurements.
Materials
Built from carefully selected, natural materials — kiln-dried hardwoods, hand-spun textiles, cast metal and quarried stone, chosen to last for decades. Naturally occurring grain and tone variation is intrinsic to each handmade piece.
Fabric care
Vacuum gently and regularly with an upholstery attachment to lift dust before it settles. Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth — press, don’t rub — and avoid soaking the fabric. Plump and rotate loose cushions so they wear evenly. Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight to preserve colour, and have delicate weaves cleaned professionally rather than machine-washed.
Craftsmanship
Carved, joined and finished by hand in our workshops, passing through the hands of several craftspeople. Joinery is mortise-and-tenon — never glued shortcuts — so the piece is made to be kept and passed down.
Assembly & Installation
Most pieces arrive securely packed and ready to use. Some larger items may require simple assembly; installation assistance may be available depending on the product and your location — speak with a consultant to confirm before ordering.
Care
Dust timber with a soft dry cloth and treat with wax balm twice yearly. Vacuum upholstery gently and treat marks promptly. Keep out of prolonged direct sun to preserve the finish.
