Price History
Description
A new addition to the exclusive Heal's collection, the Valentina Sideboard will lend timeless style to your home. A solid walnut front with a carved design cleverly conceals multiple doors for useful storage. Solid walnut fronts are intricately detailed using a CNC machine meaning every piece shows a consistent design which flows across the doors. A soft-close drawer offers useful storage for smaller items. The sideboard rests on a bronzed steel base, lending a warm finish to the design. Each leg is completed with levellers at the bottom for easy adjustment.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a big fan of the Valentina sideboard in walnut because its fine, rippled detailing and slender metal legs bring warmth and texture without overwhelming a space. It sits equally well in a pared-back Scandi living room, a contemporary dining area or even a minimalist hallway, thanks to its clean proportions and low profile. For styling, keep the top clutter-free: group two or three objects of varying heights - perhaps a sculptural ceramic vase, a small stack of design books and a low-slung table lamp - at one end, and balance with a leafy plant or framed print on the other. Inside, use matching storage boxes or woven baskets to maintain order and show off that beautiful walnut grain through the open door once in a while.

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.
