About this Item
South Africa 1948-1968
Burmese teak 'Status' sideboard, South Africa
the rectangular top above a pair of sliding cupboard doors enclosing a single shelf, flanked by four short drawers with sculpted recessed drawer pulls, raised on tapering legs
c.1960-1970
gold stamped 'frystark FURNITURE'
height: 77cm; width: 182cm; depth: 46cm
Notes
Frystark was a local manufacturer during the 1960s that produced high quality furniture based on Danish designs.
The Status sideboards can be used as room dividers as they look as good from the back as they do from the front. This example uses book-matched veneer, a decorative wood veneer technique where adjacent veneer sheets are opened like the pages of a book creating a mirror-image effect with symmetrical grain patterns.
