Mid Century Teak Sideboard By Alfred Cox

Alfred Cox was a well known British furniture designer active during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s. His work is closely associated with the post-war modernist movement in Britain, where he focused on crafting elegant, high-quality furniture pieces, primarily in walnut and teak. His designs were characterised by sleek, minimalist aesthetics and superior craftsmanship, often targeting middle-class consumers who desired stylish yet affordable home furnishings.Cox's furniture was widely sold through high-end retailers like Heals, a London-based furniture store that played a significant role in promoting modern design in the UK. He produced a variety of pieces, including wardrobes, sideboards, dressing tables, and chest of drawers, many of which featured sculpted handles, clean lines, and splayed legs - hallmarks of mid century modern design​.
