{"product_id":"myer-heritage-sideboard-in-solid-tas-myrtle","title":"Fred Ward for Myer Heritage Sideboard in Tasmanian Myrtle, c 1961","description":"\u003cp\u003eMade from solid Tasmanian myrtle as part of the Myer Heritage range, this sideboard pairs three drawers with curved brass handles, a sliding cupboard door, and open shelving, set on angular splayed legs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFred Ward designed this sideboard for Myer's Heritage range, produced from the late 1940s through the 1960s and built around solid native Australian timber at a time when most manufacturers were working with imported wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWard avoided ornament in favour of letting the timber carry the design, and this piece reflects that clearly: splayed legs, simple lines, and solid Tasmanian Myrtle that has taken on a warm, golden amber tone with age. The sideboard carries Ward's signature handles and includes the original glass sliding door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece has been fully restored, inside and out; the internal cabinetry, removable shelf and all three drawers have been refinished alongside the exterior. It is finished in Oli Natura hardwax oil, a German-made finish that penetrates the timber rather than sitting on top of it, leaving a natural, breathable surface. This is an original 1950s piece rather than a reproduction; restoration has addressed wear from its age, not replaced the timber itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 183cm long, 46cm wide, 87.5cm high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable to view in our Torquay studio.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fox \u0026 Wedge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596684083234,"sku":null,"price":3250.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/4416\/3106\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_f6a028ad-a76b-4629-87a0-fea04c4b135a.jpg?v=1789468248","url":"https:\/\/www.foxandwedge.com.au\/products\/myer-heritage-sideboard-in-solid-tas-myrtle","provider":"Fox \u0026 Wedge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
