Exceptionally Rare 1956 Heal & Son Unit by Ronald Ingles in Bombay Rosewood and Mahogany

Discover an unparalleled piece of mid-century luxury—an ultra-rare modular unit furniture set designed by the brilliant Ronald Ingles for Heal & Son in 1956. Crafted with the highest attention to detail, this exquisite ensemble showcases exterior veneers of Bombay Rosewood and Mahogany, complemented by sleek ebonised legs, making it a true embodiment of opulence and sophistication.

This set is a testament to exceptional craftsmanship, with each element designed for both beauty and function. The system includes two drawers, a corner desk, and two double sliding cabinets, each split into two sections with adjustable shelves and concealed drawers featuring meticulously crafted felt-lined trays—ideal for storing cutlery, stationery, or other valuables. The modular nature of this system allows you to arrange it according to your preference, whether as a unified statement piece or in separate sections to best suit your space.

Accompanying the unit is a matching table/desk, ingeniously designed with a twist mechanism that transforms it from a square to a compact rectangular unit. This versatile piece is perfect for use as a desk, dining table, or breakfast nook, comfortably accommodating up to two people.

This is an extraordinarily rare and coveted piece of furniture that may never appear on the market again. It comes with impeccable provenance, featuring the original 1956 cutout from the Heal & Son magazine that first showcased this masterpiece, along with the Heal’s maker’s mark inset into one of the drawers, further authenticating its heritage and value.
