    For all you retro furniture experts out there, i discovered a retro looking sideboard under my house and would appreciate if anyone can advise on age/era, maker or any other advice. It has been under my house for at least 13 years. I cannot see any marks or badges that would indicate the maker. The only thing on it is the word "beaufort" in black on the back.
    All I have discovered do far is that the legs are referred to as sleigh legs, and the furniture appears to be veneered wood.
    I would like to clean up and re-oil the sideboard to give it some renewed life.

    60s and likely American in origin. Nice lines but don't think this is designer. Do not recognize the maker.

    Might be designed by Georges van Rijck for Beaufort, Belgium.

    Any markings in the drawers?

    The mark in the back is the word BEAUFORT in black ink. The only markings on the drawers is a hand written I, II & III, presumably for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd drawer. No other notable markings.

    I would call this a credenza. Ca. 1965-70. Some Gen X-er would love it.

    Definitely "Danish Modern"! These are getting very pricey in the design stores! Many were made of teakwood, but I can't see yours well enough to be sure.

    Thanks. I believe it to be veneered teak, as the sections worn over time suggest a lighter wood beneath the grain.

    Thanks. After cleaning it up, next step is to find a Gen X-er needy of a sideboard
