This exceptional sideboard was designed by Børge Seindal and crafted by P. Westergaard Møbelfabrik in Denmark during the 1960s. A masterwork of Scandinavian Modern design, this piece represents the pinnacle of Danish cabinetmaking—where rare materials, architectural sophistication, and innovative functionality converge in perfect harmony.

Executed in highly figured Brazilian rosewood (Jacaranda) , this sideboard showcases the wood at its most spectacular. The dramatic grain patterns—swirling, striated, and richly variegated—are displayed across the full width of the facade, with bookmatched veneers creating a symphony of natural movement that distinguishes this piece as an exceptional example of the material. Standing at an impressive 114 cm in height, this sideboard commands a striking architectural presence, while its generous 200 cm width provides extraordinary storage capacity—including a rare and highly desirable mirrored internal bar section.

The piece has been presented in exceptional condition, with the highly figured rosewood exhibiting the deep richness and three-dimensional grain that collectors covet.

Design Details

Architectural Presence
Børge Seindal’s design language is defined by clean lines, confident proportions, and an innate understanding of material expression. The tall, horizontal case—standing 114 cm high—creates a commanding, room-defining silhouette that elevates any interior. The unbroken expanse of highly figured rosewood across the facade draws the eye along the length of the piece, celebrating the wood’s extraordinary grain in uninterrupted splendor.

Four Sliding Doors
Four sliding doors glide effortlessly on recessed tracks, fitted with integrated sculpted pulls that maintain the clean, uninterrupted front facade. This configuration allows for flexible access to the interior while preserving the visual continuity of the highly figured rosewood. The doors feature bookmatched veneers that mirror the grain pattern across the facade—a hallmark of the highest level of craftsmanship.

Four Drawers
Above the door line, four graduated drawers run the full width of the piece. Constructed with traditional dovetail joinery, they offer organized storage for flatware, linens, or personal effects. The drawer fronts continue the bookmatched grain pattern across the facade, reflecting Seindal’s meticulous attention to material continuity.

Mirrored Internal Bar Section
Behind one of the sliding doors lies a rare and highly desirable feature: a mirrored internal bar section. This sophisticated compartment is designed for entertaining, providing a dedicated space for glassware, decanters, and bar accessories. The mirrored back adds depth and elegance, reflecting light and creating a sense of occasion—a hallmark of Seindal’s innovative approach to functional luxury.

Adjustable Shelving
The remaining interior space features adjustable shelving, allowing you to customize the configuration to accommodate items of varying heights—from dinnerware and serving pieces to books or display objects.
