This Frystark dressing table is a stunning example of mid-century craftsmanship, made from luxurious Imbuia wood that showcases rich tones and elegant natural grain. Its silhouette combines both angular precision and subtle curves, giving it a refined, sculptural presence.
The dresser features two small, lockable, central swing-open drawers for secure storage of personal items. On the left, there's a cabinet with a single interior shelf, perfect for larger essentials. The right side houses three drawers, each fitted with the original streamlined handles, maintaining the piece's authenticity and vintage charm.
The top is crowned by three oval mirrors - a dramatic adjustable central mirror with two slightly smaller swivel side mirrors, providing versatile viewing angles and a striking focal point.
An especially intriguing detail is the leg design - the legs are uniquely shaped with a splayed, angular stance, giving the piece an elevated, almost architectural quality. Their geometric lines contrast beautifully with the soft curve of the table's apron, striking a perfect balance between boldness and grace.
Paired with the table is a complementary stool, not a Frystark original but exceptionally well-suited. It features a matching wood tone and a cushioned seat in dark fabric, accented with a subtle patterned trim that adds visual interest without overshadowing the main piece.
This dressing table is a beautiful blend of form and function - a timeless collector's item for lovers of vintage design and exceptional craftsmanship.

Note/Disclaimer:
Our images form part of the item/s description. Although every effort is made to refurbish our furniture to represent its original state best, it must be noted that most of the items we source date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. For this reason, and although restored, signs of their vintage condition & age might still be visible. We will normally point out any visible/notable concerns. Take note of all photos or view the item in-store prior to purchasing.
As with most Mid-Century pieces, it is a good combination of solid wood and a high-quality wood veneer. The history of veneer on furniture is a long and honorable tradition, and it depends on the veneer's artistry, condition, and thickness the quality of the old veneer was long-lasting; for this reason, it can be retouched or sanded and refinished.
