Model 1560 Teak Sideboard from Bernhard Pedersen & Søn, 1960s

An exceptional and remarkably rare Danish Modern sideboard produced by Bernhard Pedersen & Son (BPS-M), Brande Møbelfabrik, Denmark, during the 1960s.

This impressive piece has recently been authenticated directly by Thomas B. Pedersen, representing the original manufacturer. Following a review of the cabinet and accompanying photographs, he confirmed that while the design is closely related to the documented Model 1560, he had never encountered this exact configuration before. According to his assessment, the piece was most likely produced as a special-order or catalogue variation outside the standard production range, making it a particularly rare example of Danish cabinetmaking history.

with an extraordinary length of 250 cm (98.4 inches), this sideboard possesses a scale rarely seen in Danish Modern furniture. Its impressive proportions, balanced by elegant craftsmanship and refined detailing, create a striking architectural presence while maintaining the timeless sophistication for which Bernhard Pedersen & Son became internationally renowned.

Crafted in beautifully figured teak, the design showcases all the hallmarks of high-end Danish furniture manufacture from the golden age of Scandinavian design. Two sliding tambour doors flank a central bank of four drawers, creating a harmonious composition of clean lines and sculptural forms. The elongated solid teak drawer pulls, softly rounded edges, and elegantly tapered legs demonstrate the exceptional attention to detail associated with the finest Danish workshops of the period.

Behind the tambour doors, generous storage compartments fitted with shelving provide substantial practical storage, while the four central drawers feature traditional dovetail joinery, reflecting the superior construction standards of the era. The cabinet is fully finished on the reverse, allowing it to be placed freely within a room if desired.

One of the most striking aspects of this sideboard is the remarkable teak grain throughout. The door fronts display beautifully matched figuring, while the warm honey-brown tones have matured gracefully over the decades, giving the piece exceptional depth and character.

What elevates this sideboard even further is its provenance. The manufacturer confirmation from Thomas B. Pedersen provides rare documentation directly linking the piece to Bernhard Pedersen & Son and supports the conclusion that this is an uncommon oversized variation produced beyond the standard catalogue offering.

An outstanding opportunity to acquire a documented, manufacturer-confirmed and exceptionally rare Danish Modern sideboard from one of Denmark’s most respected cabinetmakers.
