@johnq.  Designed by Robert Heritage; Produced by Archie Shine.

I am sure there are catalogues or literature out there to confirm this...

Did find one with a label for Heal's (retailer) and stating Archie Shine design.

Archie Shine

Further info; Not easy to get more detailed information and/or catalogues. You might have better luck  searching for vintage Heals adverts...

"In the early 1960s, the most expensive British sideboards were designed by Robert Heritage, the professor of furniture design at the RCA from 1974- 1985, for the East London firm of Archie Shine.

Archie Shine became known for its high-quality furnishings which were aimed at the affluent middle classes and sold mainly through Heal’s.

Heritage’s teak and rosewood home furnishings were midway between the stark, minimalist look of the early 1950s and the heavy, masculine, chrome and glass style of the late 1960s.

Heritage designed for a lot of British makers, but was best known for his work for Archie Shine. Heritage’s designs achieved what many others had failed to – its quality and design equalling the Scandinavian pieces of the period.

In 1968, Heritage became famous for the GR 69 range of furniture for Gordon Russell and an iconic chair for the QE2."
