About the Item
This sideboard (secretary) is an exceptional example of post-war Czechoslovak design, combining the elegance of fading Art Deco with the emerging modern lines of the 1940s. It was designed by one of the most prominent Czech designers, Jindřich Halabala, and manufactured between 1946 and 1948. The piece perfectly demonstrates how Halabala merged a representative appearance with high functionality, making it a timeless furniture item suitable for both period and modern interiors.
The item has undergone professional restoration. The body is made of precious mahogany veneer combined with beech and glass. The upper glass-fronted section with a shelf and an internal mirror is ideal for displaying drinkware or glass collections. A unique detail is the original flocking (suede-like surface) in a soft yellow shade inside the display case, preserved in its original state. The lower closed section features a decorative checkerboard veneer pattern, and the overall retro look is completed by elegant rounded legs.
It has been re-polished with polyutherane piano lacquer by our professional refurbishing team in Czechia according to the original process.

Jindřich Halabala
Thanks to design lovers’ enthusiasm for Art Deco and mid-century modern furniture, and the increasingly competitive market for pieces by more famous creators, 20th-century Czech designers are making their way back onto the international stage. Foremost among these talents is Jindřich Halabala.
Halabala was one of the leading designers of a particularly rich period in Czech furniture history, when pieces were defined by Bauhaus functionalism as well as Art Deco influences. He was a cabinetmaker’s son whose training was almost wholly focused on woodwork, first at a state-run vocational school for woodworking in Valašské Meziříčí and later at UP Závody in Brno, where he ultimately became chief designer.
Halabala's alluring bentwood H chairs, such as the H269 and H237, and stylized ottomans have become classics, while his 1930s and 1940s sofas, tables and storage cabinets, with their sweeping curves, stylized geometry and dark, richly grained wood, embody the best of Art Deco furniture design, a style that was brought to worldwide attention at an exhibition in Paris in 1925.
Halabala's work, which was manufactured by the likes of Thonet and UP Závody, is seen by some as the segue between early 1900s Czech Cubism and the modern style that dominated the mid-century years.
