A striking Mid-Century chest of drawers that has been thoughtfully reimagined with a fresh, contemporary aesthetic while retaining its elegant original proportions. The drawer fronts are beautifully contrasted and framed by a crisp white finish, creating a clean, sophisticated look that works effortlessly in both modern and vintage-inspired interiors. We have incorporated the white into the recessed lines on the drawers for a cohesive look.
The chest offers practical storage with a shallow top drawer, ideal for smaller everyday items, while the four generously proportioned lower drawers provide ample space for clothing, linens, or household essentials. Completing the design are slim leather-like drawer pulls with gold-finished fittings, adding a refined tactile detail that complements the minimalist styling.
Raised on elegant brass tapered legs, the chest has a light visual presence despite its generous storage capacity, making it equally suited to a bedroom, entrance hall or living space.
Condition:
Professionally restored and sealed, the chest presents in excellent restored condition. Refinished in durable white and fitted with new handles. The distinctive figuring visible on the lower-right drawer is a natural feature of the timber grain and not a blemish or stain, adding to the individuality and character of the piece.
Dimensions:
77.5cm W x 42.5cm D x 98cm 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.
