Solid Oak Atomic Lowboy Dresser

An exceptional piece of Australian modernist history by B. Burgess - c.1977. Crafted in Preston, this stunning lowboy has been superbly restored to better-than-new condition. It combines the warm, honeyed tones of solid Oak with the spirited Atomic styling of the mid-20th century. This piece features a rare and clever design configuration. While the facade presents a symmetrical, architectural grid of 9 drawers - featuring the original sculpted brass wave handles and geometric detailed knobs - it is designed as a spacious 6-drawer dresser. This intentional design choice allows for the visual rhythm of a multi-drawer apothecary cabinet while providing the practicality of deeper, more substantial storage capacity for modern living. The chest floats on solid tapered legs capped with original brass ferrules, giving it a lightness of form that belies its solid construction. A true collectors item, the interior proudly bears the distinct Burgess stamp from their factory. This mark is a significant piece of Melbournes industrial history, recalling the era when skilled European artisans transformed the standard of Australian joinery. For definitive provenance, the lowboy is also clearly date-stamped 1977 on the back. Restored, Excellent. The timber has been professionally stripped and refinished with a premium Hardwax Oil. This lengthy process nourishes the wood from within, resulting in a durable, spill-resistant satin finish that highlights the stunning chatoyancy, natural shimmer of the Australian Oak grain. The dress is very solid, sturdy, and maintains the original brass hardware. All 6 spotless clean drawers slide smoothly and effortlessly.
