Hi,
Can anyone help me to identify ths sideboard/credenza. This looks to be in the style of florence knoll,
However there are no labels or markings.
It looks to be of a teak construction with slide out filing drawer, black leather strap handles. sliding doors.
seated on four square metal black legs.
Hope someone may know.

That is a Florence Knoll. I have a scanned catalog page I will upload for you. Just don't have it here with me.
And this is a pretty deluxe version. I have not seen one with a finished back. Nor in teak (just walnut).
If you stick your head inside and look at the inside top, probably on the right-most bay, if memory serves, you ought to see a date stamp. It will be sometime between 1952 and the early 70s, I believe.

Divine.
And so sweet that the sliding doors don't have the lock drilled into the panel. Could it be cherry instead of teak?

You can buy them here.

I recently made two. As long as you have an older one for a template it's fairly straight forward. The hardest part was finding leather that matched in color/thickness. I ended up scouring leather belt sections of clothing stores. Then drilled the holes with a very small drill bit. They came out nicely.
