Santiago Scalloped Sideboard
Drawing from the silhouette of a classic Welsh dresser, the Santiago Scalloped Sideboard brings together traditional solid wood construction and thoughtful detailing to create a piece that is both charming and practical. Made entirely from French oak or American black walnut, it features a softly highlighted scalloped apron and finely tapered legs that give the piece a light, balanced stance. Every board is carefully aligned to showcase the grain across each surface, with three solid dovetailed drawers finished with hand-cut cockbeading. Fitted with your choice of brass or ceramic hardware, the sideboard’s generous proportions feel both elegant and functional, allowing it to sit comfortably in both traditional and modern interiors.
Each Santiago sideboard is made by hand in our West Sussex workshop by experienced craftspeople, using wood sourced through local businesses who share our commitment to responsible forestry and full traceability. All of the timber is selected by our team, with particular attention paid to the movement, colour and character of the grain. Large panels are laid out and matched by hand to ensure a natural flow across the top and sides, creating a sense of harmony throughout the finished piece. A choice of finishes and hardware allows the sideboard to be adapted to different interiors while retaining its distinct character.
Our approach combines traditional joinery techniques with knowledge gained through years of restoring antique furniture and studying how different constructions hold up over time. This hands-on experience informs every decision we make, from the way joints are reinforced to the orientation of each board. The result is a piece built for everyday use and made to age gracefully. Something to be appreciated now, and passed on for generations to come.

The Journey of Our Pieces
FROM TIMBER TO HEIRLOOM
To create our pieces, we follow a considered journey, from the first choice of timber through to the final hand-finished touch. Each stage is shaped by craft, tradition, and a lasting respect for materials, resulting in furniture made to endure for generations.
Choosing the Grain
We begin at local yards, walking through stacks of logs to find timber with depth and beauty, each board responsibly forested and chosen by hand for its grain, tone, and strength, matched carefully to the role it will serve in the finished piece.
Crafting the Frame
Traditional joinery is carefully blended with modern techniques, guided by lessons from restoration and an understanding of what truly endures, so that every joint is resilient and every structure built with longevity in mind.
Building the Drawers
Entirely solid, dovetailed boxes run on a timber-made system, designed to glide smoothly and last for generations. Their interiors are protected but not stained, allowing easy restoration and revealing the natural character of the wood.
Shaping the Details
From beads and mouldings to the turning of a leg, the finer elements are crafted by hand with care and precision. Each cut and curve carries subtle variations of touch, giving individuality to the piece and a richness that builds across its form, ensuring no two are ever quite the same.
Bringing Out the Grain
Natural oils and stains are worked patiently by hand, chosen to protect the timber while allowing its grain to remain open and alive. This approach preserves the depth and movement of the wood, giving each surface a richness that matures over time and a finish that feels both enduring and true.
Completing the Piece
Each design is finished with materials chosen to complement its form, from solid brass fittings to marble tops, glass panels, or mirrors. These elements are selected for permanence as much as beauty, bringing balance and integrity that ground the furniture with a lasting sense of elegance.
