Rare Eight Drawer Sideboard in Solid Tasmanian Myrtle by Fred Lowen

A Rare Mid-Century Modern Eight-Drawer Sideboard, Credenza in Solid Tasmanian Myrtle by Fred Lowen for Fler, Australia, 1958. This piece hails from the golden era of Lowens work at Fler, the studio that defined the sophisticated Scandi-Pacific aesthetic. The credenzas clean, architectural lines are rendered in solid Tasmanian Myrtle, an exotic and prized hardwood celebrated for its warm, reddish-pink hue and remarkable satin lustre. This substantial piece offers generous storage across eight drawers, making it a versatile sideboard, dresser, or media console. The drawers, constructed with fine dovetail joints, feature a signature sculptural detail: solid brass cylinder pulls, each set within a precisely dished-in concave cutout. This thoughtful detail creates a beautiful play of light and shadow on the timbers surface. As a final mark of bespoke quality, each drawer opens to reveal a vibrant, jewel-toned teal felt lining, a private, tactile luxury that contrasts beautifully with the warm timber. Excellent restored condition, this credenza has been beautifully preserved, with a warm, honeyed Shellac finish that highlights the timbers stunning warmth.
