Price History
Description
Exclusive to Heal’s, the Anais Sideboard combines a solid oak frame with a beige Travertine top, offering both style and storage. Cut-out handles, radiused corners and flush doors contribute to an understated design that allows the natural beauty of its materials to shine. Meanwhile, the doors open to reveal two soft-close drawers, making this investment piece as practical as it is beautiful.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a fan of the Anais sideboard for its clean oak lines and the subtle contrast of a travertine top - it brings both warmth and a touch of refinement. Its curved edges and slim legs lend themselves to Scandi-inspired or contemporary schemes, but it also sits happily in a minimalist or mid-century living room. Styling tip: balance the natural stone surface with a low vase of foliage or a simple lamp, then hang a round mirror or a framed print above to echo the curves. Inside, use woven baskets or box files to keep paperwork or electronics neatly tucked away, turning this sideboard into a practical focal point.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
