This elegant freestanding design pairs a full-length, tilting cheval mirror with a compact single-drawer dresser base, creating a piece that works effortlessly in a bedroom, dressing area, or studio space. Restored and sealed, it presents with a warm, even tone that highlights the quality of the hardwood and the precision of its joinery.
Torrente’s signature craftsmanship marks the frame: clean linear forms, refined chamfered edges, and exposed dovetail joints that add a quiet note of artisanal detail. The mirror is housed in a sculpted frame with softened inner edges, lending it a gentle, hand-finished feel. It sits securely between two upright supports, offering a balanced silhouette that feels both grounded and airy.
The dresser base features a deep, smooth-running drawer with a long, sculpted pull — a standout Torrente detail. The drawer front is subtly faceted, adding dimension without interrupting the clean geometry. Its proportions make it perfect for storing personal items, accessories, grooming tools, or clothing essentials while keeping surfaces uncluttered.
Presented in beautifully restored condition, the piece has a soft, natural sheen and retains light, age-appropriate character. Its compact footprint, thoughtful design, and harmonious proportions make it an ideal choice for interiors that value craftsmanship, simplicity, and mid-century South African design heritage.

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 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.
