Traditionally, in Moscow, all furniture for storing dishes and table linen is called buffets. This is the most numerous and varied type of cabinet furniture. Every year, at least three sideboards are restored in our workshop. Each of them is unique.
The buffet is a relatively new type of furniture. It appeared in the second half of the 19th century, during the era of historicism, which means it can be executed in any of the styles known to us. The sideboard in the Romanesque style is bulky, with an abundance of convex ornamental carvings. A buffet in the Gothic style with characteristic Gothic turrets, skyward ceilings, Gothic roses and stained glass windows. Cupboards in the Renaissance style delight with their clear proportions and exquisite ornaments of in-depth carvings. Classicism and Empire style buffets were not very popular. For the sake of fashion, the buffet of these styles looks more like a slide. But modernism, on the contrary, gave the buffet a new life. Buffets in the Art Nouveau style are chic, refined, and graceful.
A slender supply, a small or dessert buffet, serving, kitchen, dining room, huge for a large formal dining room of the 19th century, or very small for a tiny Soviet kitchen of the 60s. There are many types of buffets and there is always something to choose from. From a restoration point of view, they are complex. There was always something tasty stored in the cupboards. It spilled, woke up, left stains. Mice, cockroaches, and ants strove for deliciousness. Everyone left their traces. The cats liked to sharpen their claws on the wooden posts, and the dogs liked to gnaw on the protruding parts of the carvings. Most of the ancient buffets spent their last half century in unheated dachas, which ultimately ruined their preservation.
WE CAN RESTORE ANYTHING.
The most common type of buffet is the “old style” buffet Photos 1 and 2. These were made by small furniture cooperatives until the 30s of the 20th century. Due to their significant size, buffets usually consisted of two parts - upper and lower. Sometimes out of three. Top, middle and bottom. Sometimes the upper and middle parts were combined into one. The upper part was always made less deep than the lower, while the lower part protruded slightly forward. One shelf was usually installed inside the upper part. If the doors are glazed, it’s just a buffet. If the doors in the upper part are without glass, such a sideboard is called blind. It should be noted right away that solid buffets are in less demand than glazed ones.
The lower half of the sideboard has a large compartment with one shelf running the entire width. Closes with a double door. There are two pull-out drawers above the doors, and one or two pull-out cutting boards for slicing bread are often placed just below the countertop. The board looks like a shield or frame. In expensive buffets, the board is covered with thin marble.
The doors in simple sideboards are paneled, smooth, or decorated with overlay, recessed or sculptural carvings. The sides are usually smooth, sometimes paneled. At the top, the sideboard ends with a cornice, and in front with some kind of figured pediment. The bottom above the legs ends with a bar covered with a figured profile. Old sideboards had no empty space between the top and bottom. And in the very latest models of these simple sideboards, the back wall of the space between the top and bottom was decorated with a mirror.
Wardrobe Helga
Combined cabinet for dishes and household items – Helga. The prototype of the Soviet wall and combined cabinet furniture. Helga is a female name, similar to our Olga. This is how the GDR factory touchingly named the furniture exported to the USSR in the form of a large beautiful cabinet, consisting of a glazed central part and two symmetrical compartments with blind doors. Behind the right door were shelves for everything, and behind the left was a compartment with a crossbar for hangers and clothes. The name stuck. Now all similar Soviet furniture from the 50s, 60s, 70s is called HELGA.
The photo shows a German Helga wardrobe from the 30s. Restored in our workshop. Solid pine. Bird's eye maple veneer. Inlay – ebony (ebony). It is more like a sideboard, however, structurally, it is Helga furniture, a cabinet for dishes and things stored on hangers.
In Moscow on AVITO or SACK. Cupboard, sideboard, helga, (sometimes called a small Soviet wall) - a wide choice of any size, so buying a helga cabinet from the 60s is not difficult. It is enough to spend 2-3 weeks searching on the Internet. Not expensive. You can even receive it as a gift when you vacate an apartment for sale. Choose a German Helga wardrobe based on the photo; it should be in the best possible condition. During transportation, disassembling the cabinet with your own hands is not difficult, but some points can overshadow the purchase. Important. No smell of medicines, no dark spots on the shelves, no presence of hinges, locks with keys, handles, original glass. Check the condition of the veneer on the countertop. All this will affect the cost of restoration.

Soviet sideboard
Under the name Soviet furniture or furniture of the USSR, there is a wide variety of interior items, oddly enough, made in Germany. Trophy furniture from the 40s and 50s. GDR furniture from the 60s and 70s.
We strongly associate all these cabinets, cupboards, sideboards, cabinets, display cases and walls with the minimalism of developed socialism. The photo shows a sideboard, the restoration of which was carried out in our workshop in 2000. Currently, the cost of restoring a sideboard made of solid oak will be about 80-100 thousand rubles.
Small serving sideboard. Solid oak. Russia. 20s. Brass. Forged handles. Behind the doors there are drawers with a similar decor. The difference between a sideboard and a buffet. The sideboard has drawers behind the lower blind doors. The buffet has drawers under the tabletop - on the outside and are part of the facade.
Soviet furniture of the 60s also includes Romanian furniture. The photo shows a sideboard veneered with walnut veneer with light wood inserts. Most likely birch trees.
Soviet life is a magical world: a sideboard, string bag and kefir...
November 7 is an excellent occasion to remember Soviet childhood and youth
Photo: RIA Novosti
November 7 is still a red day on the calendar for many. If only because this is an excellent reason to remember Soviet childhood and youth. And at the same time - those things that surrounded the citizens of the USSR. Komsomolskaya Pravda spoke with the director of the Moscow Design Museum, Alexandra Sankova, about the outstanding artifacts of everyday life in the country of victorious socialism.
String bag
This bag is, without exaggeration, genius. In Soviet times, going and buying something was problematic. Everyone was taken out or grabbed according to the occasion. I went out for lunch break, saw the line, and stood up. You definitely need this! And what “this” is can be found out closer to the counter. Carry a shopping bag with you? Too bulky. The string bag (the name itself reflects the unpredictability of the appearance of goods) easily fit in a pocket. Everyone had it and now it is returning to our bags and pockets. Today it is loved for its environmental friendliness. Unlike plastic bags, it is not disposable and does not decompose for centuries, like plastic. By the way, they came up with a string bag specifically for triangular milk bags. In an ordinary bag they made holes with their corners. But they didn’t tear the string bag.
Cologne "Chypre"
The undisputed symbol of the Soviet era was created in France by perfumer Françau Coty. The name of the cologne is nothing more than a distorted “Cyprus” - Chypre. At first this perfume was for women, and then changed gender. In the USSR, it was produced by the Novaya Zarya factory, having changed the composition, which is why the scent, of course, lost. Cologne was loved not only by fashionistas (however, it was not considered particularly prestigious), but also by alcoholics. The alcohol content in it is at least 70 percent!
In general, the base “Chypra” was included in many cult perfumes - for example, in “Chanel No. 5”. By the way, Chypre can be bought now. Online stores offer it for a ridiculous price of 200 rubles.
Still from the film
Kefir bottles
Now you can also see a lot of similar containers on the shelves. But they are far from the Soviet kefir bottle. The most important thing is that those Soviet bottles did not have labels. The containers were returnable, and so that enterprises did not have to glue labels each time and then wash them off, foil lids of different colors were used to recognize the goods. Silver - with milk. Green - on kefir. Rich pink - with cream. The production date was stamped on the lid.
Empty bottles could be returned - 15 kopecks per 0.5 liter bottle. Before handing them in, they were washed with a brush. If the neck of the container was chipped, the bottle could not be returned.
Chandelier "Cascade"
Remember the scene from the movie "Mimino"? “The chandelier is not made of Venetian glass, but was made in Voronezh, in the artel named after Clara Zetkin and is sold at a retail price of 37 rubles 46 kopecks.” Mass models were even cheaper, about 20 rubles. And they hung in almost every second apartment! The small lamps had cascades of two rows. Chandeliers with three to five bulbs have up to four rows of figured pendants. At first, the chandelier pleased with its brilliance and brightness, but soon the plastic became cloudy and lost its former splendor. Washing such a chandelier is real hard labor. Each element had to be removed, washed and hung back. No wonder they kept getting lost. And it was impossible to buy spare parts. So after some time the collection of light bulbs became bald...

Brown school uniform
School uniforms for girls were introduced back in Tsarist Russia, in 1896.
After the revolution, such clothing was considered something bourgeois, and people tried to do without it. Uniform dresses returned again in 1949. By the way, the women's uniform was the same for almost all Soviet times, unlike the men's.
Most of the models were made from inexpensive fabrics, so by the end of the first school term the skirt of the dress was quite shiny. Soviet girls dreamed of somehow improving the dull toilet. Cuffs and collars were sewn onto the dress.
Every day the girls wore black aprons over their dresses, and on holidays they wore white ones. It was the same with bows. Any other than black and white were prohibited.
Vacuum cleaner "Seagull"
People called it a rocket. He really is somewhat similar. It was considered a luxury product. Housewives usually swept the carpets with a damp broom or beat them out with clappers in the courtyards.
The Seagulls appeared in 1963 and were a reliable model. Some of them still serve faithfully in their dachas. “The Seagull” is a replica of the Dutch Remoco SZ49 vacuum cleaner from the 1930s. But where do the Dutch care about our ingenuity? The need for invention is cunning: Soviet people managed to use the “Chaika” as a hairdryer, and also whiten ceilings with a vacuum cleaner.
Tumbler
Although this toy is familiar to every Soviet and Russian child, it was not first invented in the USSR. And in Japan. And nine centuries ago!
In pre-revolutionary Russia, these toys were called “somersaults” or “vanka-standers.” So the tumbler as we know it, in a red dress made of plastic.
Its familiar form was developed by specialists from the Zagorsk Research Institute of Toys in 1958. Vanka-Vstanka is still being produced.
And what else
Do you remember?
Bots "Farewell to youth". A very telling name, although unofficial. The bots received it for their not even modesty, but their wretchedness. But they were warm, light and comfortable. The top was made of felt and had a zipper. The rubber sole is flexible and non-slip. These shoes appeared as a result of a marriage between galoshes and felt boots. The boots were developed by Soviet shoemakers in 1961. Serial production started in 1963. By the way, this model is still sewn and is in demand.
Sideboard. Furniture design in the USSR began only in the late 50s. Before this, the old, master's furniture was worn out. Or they made something without thinking about the design. And in the era of mass construction, tiny Khrushchev houses required a lot of furniture. And compact - so that it goes through narrow corridors. Sideboards appeared in each apartment, where the hostesses displayed the most valuable things that the citizens of the USSR had. Crystal, tea sets.
Bicycle "Eaglet". A personal vehicle is the dream of every Soviet child. Having received this miracle as a gift, the children tuned it as best they could: they added fringe to the steering wheel and seat. The knitting needles were covered with colored wires and ratchets were inserted.
"Eaglet" appeared in Minsk in the 1950s. It was designed for children from 7 to 15 years old.
QUESTION - RIB
Why such a love for retro?
“Items that remind us of the recent past are becoming relevant again, primarily because people are nostalgic for the times when they were young, full of strength and carefree,” explains Alexandra Sankova, director of the Museum of Soviet Design.
Many people don’t mind remembering and touching Soviet antiquity with their hands. But not everyone is actually ready to surround themselves with such things. By the way, businessmen are trying to use nostalgia for the Soviet “yesterday”. Remember the candies of legendary brands. Ice cream of the same price. One well-known foreign furniture company even released an entire collection in the spirit of Soviet design. And she miscalculated: the demand turned out to be low. It’s one thing to be moved by pictures of boots from the Skorokhod factory, and quite another to wear them.
How long will this wave of retromania last? Probably until a generation changes. Children born in the 2000s will have completely different memories of happy days.
German sideboard
So-called trophy furniture. It is large in size and very heavy. Expensive furniture is made of solid oak and walnut. No less beautiful, but cheaper, made of pine, veneered with oak, walnut, mahogany, ash, Karelian birch. Massive thick beveled glass and marble slabs on cutting boards also add weight. On the Moscow antique market, a German sideboard, as a rule, is sold not alone, but as part of a dining room set. It comes with an extendable table, 6 or 12 chairs, a counter with a mirror, and a serving table.
You can buy a sideboard for dishes in the living room inexpensively from a photo in Moscow on the same AVITO and MESHKA. After spending 2-3 weeks searching. It is useless to look for large sideboards in antique stores. It is not profitable for stores to take them on commission. Bulky and not expensive. In addition, the product is not popular. The slide is another matter.

Young people tend to believe that nothing existed before they appeared. Or it was, but worse. But not always. And before “burgers” there was catering. And the fact that you can eat with your hands was invented long before the invasion of overseas taverns.

See all photos in the gallery
Delicious pies with jam or meat could be bought from Soviet “peddlers” on almost every corner. Or donuts! Delicious, tender, piping hot, generously sprinkled with powdered sugar.

All Soviet students remember puff tongues and shortcakes (5 kopecks each) in school canteens. And lunches for 30 kopecks.
0
And everyone also remembers the canteens in pioneer camps. And this choral ritual at the farewell dinner: “Thank you to our cooks for cooking delicious food for us.” As for me, the “cooking” was really tasty. And they looked colorful. In some incredible gauze turbans...
0
Each enterprise (and there were countless of them in the USSR) had its own canteen. Oh, these eggs with mayonnaise, sour cream in cut glasses and Olivier without meat! Steak and egg and fish day on Thursdays. Will you ever forget this? And I still haven’t learned how to cook “that” salad from fresh cabbage, it just doesn’t work. What was their secret?
0
Anyone “from the street” could dine in the factory canteen. Like any employee, he could go out during his lunch break and eat in another, “city” canteen, of which there were a great many. Even in any “Gastronom” there was a “cafeteria” where you could have a snack and drink titanium coffee with milk or a delicious milkshake for 10 kopecks.
0
In cinemas, in parks, at train stations... you could have a snack everywhere. We managed somehow without “hot dogs”. And for those who fancied themselves a gourmet, there were “Cafes”. A little more expensive than a canteen, but quite affordable for the “broad masses”. And they sold alcohol there.
0
And, of course, coffee.
0
There were also open cafes. Summer. Remember, “ice cream for the kids, flowers for the woman”?
0
Well, if you really wanted something like this... You could go to a restaurant. With 5 rubles in your pocket, you could have a good time in a mid-range restaurant. By the way, there are not very many restaurants in the USSR, but there is a wide variety, and with different price categories.
0
In any case, it will be a waiter, white tablecloths, beautiful cutlery... I won’t lie that Soviet people went to restaurants on weekdays and holidays, that’s not true. But judge the availability for yourself. Here is the menu from 1977, when the salary was 100 - 120 rubles. And the scholarship is 35 rubles.
0
Well, if life was really going well, then there was a culinary “opupei” for this case. Even a few. For example, the Prague restaurant in Moscow. Or the dream of any guest of the capital - “Seventh Heaven” in the Ostankino TV tower.
0
Unfortunately, I have nothing to say about these restaurants. Like most Muscovites, I have never been there. I bought a cake of the same name from the culinary department at the Prague restaurant from my first scholarship. But my budget wasn’t enough for “Seventh Heaven” either then, or even more so now. But I didn’t really worry about it. I had enough of other Soviet food establishments. Healthy and natural nutrition. But now this is not enough...

Slide with glass
The first slides were open - just shelves on which dishes were placed. At the bottom is the chassis, at the top is beautiful and expensive. The shelves are wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. The dishes were piled up. Hence the name. If the buffet and the stand are furniture for the kitchen, then the cabinet is furniture for the dining room (if there are dishes in it) or the living room, if it is intended for storing and displaying antique sets, silverware and magnificent glass to guests. The bottom of the slide is deaf. The top is glazed on three sides. Sometimes the slide is called a showcase. But the display case, unlike the slide, does not have lower blind compartments in the form of a cabinet with doors or drawers. In the second half of the 19th century, the slide glass on the facade was made bent. The slide has always been a luxury item. It’s rare for anyone to be able to buy an antique slide cheaply.

Buy an antique buffet
You can buy an antique sideboard with good restoration, delivery and a 3-year guarantee in our restoration workshop. In our workshop you can restore antique, antique and vintage furniture from the 50s and 60s.
The problem with an antique sideboard is the ineradicable smell of old furniture inside the drawers and cavities closed with doors. Food, butter, jam, spices and medicines stored inside cupboards leave a trace of an unpleasant odor for a long time. The only way to get rid of it is to completely remove the old coating, sand the surface down to bare wood and apply a fresh coat of paint. Such work can only be done in a specially equipped workshop.
You can buy an inexpensive old or antique buffet on AVITO. Expensive furniture with carvings, stained glass and marquetry - at antique auctions, in salons, shops. Not necessarily, a worthy item will be expensive or a simple sideboard in poor condition will be cheap. When purchasing, it is important to take your time, understand how much this particular item is needed and how much money it will require to put it in order, in other words, how much it costs to restore a sideboard.
You can get advice from a restorer about the cost of restoring a wooden sideboard, determining the style and age of the item, its condition, the cost of repairing locks, glass, stained glass, delivery, guarantees, by calling via Whatsapp on the same phone number or our email
