RARE 1950s MYER HERITAGE Solid SILK OAK DRESSING TABLE VANITY & MIRROR
$450 Negotiable
TEXT or PHONE CONTACT ONLY PLEASE ON ALL MY ITEMS. NO POSTAGE OFFERED.
RARE Mid Century 1952 MYER HERITAGE DRESSING TABLE with Mirror made from SOLID Australian SILKY OAK.
Open to offers on this and the other pieces in the matching set of THREE.
Amazing highly figured SILKY OAK wood featured on this rare piece - that is the beauty of the now endangered & valuable wood that is SILKY OAK. Its pronounced medulla rays are like ribbons that literally shimmer in sunlight. It was once widely used for furniture manufacture & even firewood, sadly not any more. Now it's only used to create small artisan pieces or super high-end furniture as large lengths are now very rare.
I think this may be a piece created by the iconic Australian designer FRED WARD who created pieces for Myer Heritage. You could buy this furniture just for its valuable timber!!!
This piece is completely constructed from SOLID SILKY OAK, not just the drawer fronts and sides plus the top, legs and internal parts you can see. (All except the drawer bottoms & back panels).
NOTE: Silky Oak is native to the East coast of Australia, not here in West Australia. You just don't see furniture made from this rare & valuable wood these days, but this was made in the early 1950's when Silky Oak was not as scarce a material it is nowadays.
I have seen this & the other pieces in this set online labelled with MYER HERITAGE metal tags. Usually made in solid Tasmanian Myrtle.
This example is stamped: SELLY & BRYDEN, Fitzgerald Street, Perth, 4-2-52 (1952) These were all purchased together as a set of THREE.
The mirror has been detached for storage & transport, but I have the original attachment screws. You can just reattach or even use this without the mirror if you prefer.
Even the uprights that hold the mirror & attach to the body are made from solid Silky Oak (see pics).
It's is excellent vintage used condition, you can see how the wood grain shimmers in the bright sunlight - just spectacular!
Looks very much to be influenced by the furniture of American company Hayward Wakefield.
Fabulous piece to add to your Australian Mid Century furniture collection... or start one!!!
I am also selling other matching pieces in this set as shown - 1 x BEDSIDE TABLE & 1 x CHEST of DRAWERS.
