An exceptionally refined vintage server with slim, elegant proportions and beautifully considered detailing. The two shallow drawers sit neatly tucked between a distinctive angular apron or lip detail, with the projecting line above echoed beneath the drawers. This subtle framing is one of the design's standout features, giving the body a crisp, tailored appearance while creating an almost floating effect.
This is a particularly elegant and luxurious vintage piece, equally suited as a dining room server, entrance console, or statement piece in a living space.
The slender round tapered legs gently splay outwards, joined by a fine stretcher base that adds both structure and visual interest without interrupting the lightness of the piece.
Interesting and sculptural rectangular upright drawer pulls in brushed silver-tone metal provide a sophisticated contrast against the warmth of the timber. One drawer is fitted to serve as a cutlery drawer.
Condition:
Excellent and fully restored.

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.
