Restored Mid-Century Modern Myer Heritage 'Dallas' Sideboard in Solid Tasmanian Myrtle (Designed by Fred Ward)
A rare and significant piece of Australian design history, meticulously restored by Fox & Wedge Vintage.
This stunning sideboard is part of the iconic 'Heritage' range produced for Myer in the 1950s. Designed by the legendary Fred Ward, this piece is part of the 'Dallas' collection, celebrated for its clean lines, functional elegance, and celebration of native Australian timber.
Ward’s design ethos of prioritising simple forms and the natural beauty of the wood is perfectly captured in this piece. Constructed from solid Tasmanian Myrtle, the timber glows with a rich, golden-amber warmth that only decades of age can produce. The sideboard features the signature splayed legs and brass handles that define the era.
Fox & Wedge Restoration
We believe the interior of a piece deserves the same attention as the exterior. Meticulously hand-sanded, this sideboard has undergone a rigorous restoration that goes far beyond the surface. We have refinished the internal cabinetry, removable shelf, and all three drawers to ensure a smooth, clean finish throughout. The result is an exceptional vintage piece that is fresh and ready for immediate use.
An Investment in Australian Design
As appreciation for mid-century Australian design continues to rise, works by Fred Ward are becoming increasingly coveted. The 'Dallas' range is particularly scarce. By securing a fully restored, solid timber piece of this calibre, you are investing in a future heirloom — a functional asset built to endure for another 70 years.
Premium Finish
We have finished the piece with Oli Natura Hardwax Oil (made in Germany). This premium, eco-friendly finish penetrates deep into the wood to protect it from within while leaving a natural, breathable, and velvety-smooth surface.
Condition
Fully restored to exceptional standard. As this is a vintage piece, minor signs of its history and use may remain, serving as a testament to its authenticity and age. Includes the otginal glass sliding door.
