The outline and ‘façade’ is simple and restrained. Using solid and veneered rosewood the cabinet is made to extremely high standards by British cabinet maker Archie Shine. The inset brass drawer pulls reference historical furniture detailing and marry classical elements to the modernist design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe partnership between Heritage and Archie Shine began in the late 1950s and continued through the 1960s.
