A beautifully restored mid-century dresser in oak, offering a warm, natural tone and a clean, timeless silhouette. The piece features four smoothly running drawers with rounded wooden pulls, maintaining the understated charm characteristic of mid-century Scandinavian-inspired design.
The mirror features a softly trapezoidal shape with rounded corners, wider at the top and tapering gently toward the bottom. It is mounted on two simple supports that give it a light, floating presence above the dresser. It tilts to various angles, both practical and true to the era. The mirror displays fine for the intended purpose, but it has age-related markings and wear, a patina that speaks to its history and enhances its vintage character without affecting usability.
The wood has been fully restored, bringing out the grain’s soft sheen and ensuring the piece is ready for many more years of use, whether as a dressing table, compact writing desk, or elegant hallway console. Slight traces of wear consistent with age and use.
For a fresh, contemporary touch, this restored dresser is paired with a modern "Haus by Hertex" stool in “Ash”, featuring high-density foam cushioning for lasting comfort, a compact, versatile shape, and stylish textured upholstery in a sophisticated neutral tone. We’ve included this stool in the set at a price below its usual retail value of R2 800, offering even better overall value.
This pairing blends mid-century heritage with modern comfort, making it ready for everyday use.

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 before purchasing.

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.

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.
