About this piece
Myer Heritage furniture, made under the direction of the designer Fred Ward, gave Australian homes solid, honestly made timber furniture from the late 1940s, and this lowboy is a compact example, with four drawers and a cupboard.
Fred Ward (1899 to 1990) managed the furniture workshop at the Myer Emporium in Melbourne, and was a pioneer in the use of native Australian timbers at a time when many makers copied European woods. The Heritage range was positioned as a step above the mass market, and its pieces are known for solid timber construction, dovetailed drawers and a plain, unadorned design.
This lowboy is built entirely from solid Tasmanian myrtle, including the internal shelf. It has four drawers stacked on the left, each with an oval timber pull, and a single cupboard door on the right that opens to a removable shelf. The cupboard locks, and this piece retains its original key. It stands on tapered, splayed feet. The timber is a warm, honey tone, and the grain runs cleanly across the drawer fronts and the door.
Dimensions: 91 cm W x 51 cm D x 107.5 cm H.
At this size it suits a bedroom as a chest of drawers, a hallway, or a lounge wall as a low cabinet. The top is level and clear, with room for a lamp, a mirror or a row of books.
Fully restored and refinished in Oli Natura hardwax oil, and structurally sound throughout. Wipe with a soft dry cloth, and use a light oil once a year if the timber looks dry.
