Scandinavian‑influenced, teak dressing table with original stool, c. 1965. Distinctive paired wedge pulls, baize-lined jewellery drawer, and stretchered leg frame.
Clean, elegant lines define this beautifully designed dressing table and stool.

The large single mirror offers enhanced viewing.
This piece boasts exceptional craftsmanship, with a build quality of the highest standard and a design that thoughtfully echoes the timeless aesthetics of the era.
Both the dresser and stool have been fully restored, with the stool reupholstered in a geometric style, durable fabric that should tie in overall with various styles.

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.
