A charming vintage cane and rattan desk or dressing table, combining practical proportions with decorative detailing. The frame features curved looped cane elements along the sides and back, woven cane panels, and two useful drawers across the front.
The piece has been refreshed and coated in a fresh white, giving it a lighter, more contemporary feel while retaining the texture and character of the cane construction. New gold handle pulls add a warm contrast to the white finish, while a new glass top has been fitted to provide a practical, easy-to-maintain work surface.
Versatile in use, it works equally well as a compact writing desk (though slightly lower / refer to dimensions), perfect as a dressing table (a mirror against the wall will work perfectly) or console in a bedroom, study or living space.
Please note: The various seating options shown in the photographs are for styling purposes only and are not included, but are available separately. This listing is for the dresser | desk only.

Note/Disclaimer:
Our images form part of the item description. While we make every effort to restore our furniture to its original state, most pieces date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. As a result, and despite restoration, signs of their vintage nature and previous life may still be visible. Light traces of restoration may remain visible, consistent with authentic vintage furniture. In some cases, minor adjustments may also have been made during the restoration process to ensure the piece remains functional and usable. We will point out any notable aspects where possible. We encourage in-store viewing or careful review of photographs before purchase.
Transport & Handling Note:
All items are carefully wrapped and prepared for transport by us (not the courier) to ensure safe handling. Once items leave our premises, we cannot take responsibility for their treatment by third-party transporters. We strongly recommend arranging goods-in-transit insurance for comprehensive protection.
Due to the fragility of glass, we do not recommend shipping glass items outside of Gauteng.
