Art Deco sideboard?
9 years ago
Hi everyone, I'm looking for some help in finding the origins of this sideboard? I believe it may be from the 1920-1940s. I wasn't able to locate a maker's mark on the back. It's incredibly heavy. The door handles had been replaced with pull handles so I'm looking to restore these to originals. Is there a place that provides these?

Comments (11)Typically, three panel doors were used throughout bungalows, Edwardian bungalows and Californian often had 3 panel doors, two long rectangular and one on the top, federation often used these or 4 panel doors, with three vertical rectangles, even the occasional 4 panel vid doors were found. the deco bungalows were often closer to the Edwardian bungalows in that the 3 panel or single panel doors were used. black Japan featured heavily,although using an mdf reproduction would work if you paint them. i successfully found my Edwardian doors on gumtree, driving two hours to get them, so it's worth a try.

Comments (41)Hi Sarah, hope you enjoyed your travels last night, that's something we have spent our lives doing plus living in different countries. Do look into the attic room/s they are lovely and the Velux skylights very unobtrusive, look great and if positioned correctly take care of venting any hot air, as I mentioned ours were pivoting ones and could be locked open in several positions. I much prefer these to dormer windows, you don't really notice them. The stairs were built off site and lifted into position and installed, built in. At the time we did ours a very good friend a builder did the same but just completely opened the whole ceiling space right out towards the gutters into a large bedroom play study area for his daughters, also using Velux windows. Glass ceilings, like Velux windows have been around for years, believe me I know, we're both getting older. Velux windows can be used as glass ceilings in opening and non opening configurations. I would love to see you keep the outdoor loo as well and updating the old shed into a new connecting space to the house, perhaps a glass breezeway. I will have another look at your plan again over the weekend. I love your front iron gate as well, auto sliding driveway gates work really well and would really fit with your carport. My brother in law put in a tall timber sliding gate at his last home, lovely cheers...See MoreHeating options for 1930s art deco apt
Comments (5)Hydronic radiator panels are probably going to be the most effective option. It should be easy enough to run the pipework under the floor, if there's some space as you say. Running the pipework externally is probably not the best option if you can help it. Your heat losses will be higher, and the pipe insulation is more likely to degrade while exposed to the elements....See MoreArt Deco apartment transformation
