This fabulous piece is a superb example of Fred Ward designed furniture made for Myer Heritage. A highly regarded designer (1947 – 1988), his furniture design is characterised by his pioneering use of unstained Australian timbers. Among some of the timbers he used to make furniture were Australian blackwood, myrtle, coachwood, walnut, fiddle-back and whitegum; all used to compliment the clean, simple and flowing lines of his designs.  It features;

• solid myrtle timber construction
• circa 1960’s
• shaped mirror with myrtle timber crest
• stepped top design
• 5 dovetail-joined drawers
• complete & matching turned timber knobs
• square cut tapered & splayed legs
• makers plate; Myer Heritage

Condition overview; in good condition, relative to its age, it is a very solid, sturdy, beautifully crafted piece and all of the drawers work well.  There are no chips or cracks in the mirror.  As expected on a piece of this vintage, it displays a number of general wear, knock and surface marks (including to the centre top section).
