Compact Mid-Century Imbuia sideboard by EE Meyer

An absolutely beautifully crafted mid-century Imbuia sideboard by EE Meyer cabinet makers, 1960’s

Stands as an exquisite example of craftsmanship. It has a rectangular top above four short graduated drawers and a pair of doors enclosing a shelf, on square-section tapering legs joined by a box stretcher. The imbuia wood grain and colour are beautifully active in light.
 Exceptionally crafted, a real collector’s item and investment that will last a lifetime. 

 

Dimensions: Length 153cm x Depth 45cm x Height 84cm

 

The sideboard is in good vintage condition overall. Any signs of use are minimal. The item has been diligently cleaned, polished, lightly refinished, and sealed to ensure its continued elegance.  One of the back legs had experienced an old break, which had been skilfully repaired previously, this adds to its sturdiness. 

By means of our respectful and careful restoration procedure, we prioritize preserving the distinct character and heritage of each classic piece.

Meyer, hailed as the South African maestro of understated midcentury sophistication, defined by sober and clean design aesthetic, predominantly using the exquisite hardwood imbuia.
