A characterful retro dresser given a fresh three-tone update. Originally two-toned, we introduced crisp white accents to lighten the overall look, creating a more versatile piece that can sit just as comfortably in a contemporary interior.
The dresser retains its fabulous period profile, with tapered angled legs and an elongated upright mirror. Three drawers provide useful storage, while the stepped design offers generous surface space across three levels. A new glass shelf has been added to the centre, creating an additional tier for displaying smaller pieces.
The wood has been fully restored and refinished. The mirror retains visible age spots, adding an authentic vintage touch while remaining yet functional for everyday use.
A practical piece with plenty of retro personality, refreshed for a new setting.
Note: The dresser does not include a stool, but pairs easily with a simple ottoman available from larger retailers - pictured here as an example.
Condition:
Great restored condition. Mirror is original, adding authenticity to the piece, showing age-related spots, etc.
Dimensions:
126.5cm W x 46.5cm D x 157cm H (Including Mirror)
Highest tier x 73.5cm / Bottom tier from floor height: 49 cm 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.
