Background:
Robert Heritage was one of the top British furniture furniture designers of the mid 20th century . His collaboration with the high end maker Archie Shine carried on for many years , but he also designed pieces for many other less expensive British makers from the mid 1950s until well into the 1970s as well as being a highly influential lecturer and professor of furniture design . The great thing about Robert Heritage is that he came up with so many totally different design features , so there is no one Heritage look . He definitely was not a ” one trick pony ” as the variation in designs on sideboards alone is tremendous, yet all manage to look modern clean and contemporary even 50 or 60 years after they were designed .
Archie Shine was passionate about the pieces his company made . If a piece wasn’t 100% right he wouldn’t sell it . He’d rather smash a piece up than have it leave his workshops with a minor problem . His standards were high , so the furniture his company made was always top quality , particularly in the 1960s when there were no financial constraints.
