A beautifully considered tall cabinet designed for versatility and ease, where clean form meets everyday function.
Crafted in warm-toned timber, the piece draws attention through its natural grain and balanced proportions. The vertical layout makes it ideal for compact spaces, offering generous storage without overwhelming the room.
Five well-sized drawers run through the centre, each fitted with integrated cut-out pulls for a seamless, easy opening experience. The absence of external hardware keeps the look uninterrupted and quietly refined. Above and below, open compartments introduce flexibility, perfect for display, quick-access storage, or layering in books and objects.
Fully restored, stripped, sanded, and resealed, the cabinet has been brought back to a fresh, natural finish while retaining its character.
The darker interior creates a subtle contrast, adding depth and framing whatever is placed within. It works equally well in a bedroom, living space, or study.
Condition:
The outer sides have been reworked and finished with a subtle black-stained border, complementing the darker interior of the open storage sections. A new top has been added and stained in black, tying the overall look together.
All drawers, along with the rest of the cabinet, have been stripped, sanded, and resealed, allowing the natural timber to come through while ensuring a clean, refreshed finish.
Dimensions:
53.5cm W x 48cm D x 169cm H

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.

As with many Mid-Century pieces, this item features a thoughtful combination of solid wood and high-quality wood veneer. Veneer has a long and respected tradition in furniture making, valued for both its aesthetic and structural benefits. When crafted with skill and applied in substantial thickness, vintage veneer proves highly durable, allowing for careful restoration, including retouching, sanding, and refinishing without compromising the integrity of the piece.
