Early 50s Sideboard by EE Meyer in imbuia
Mid-century sideboard by EE Meyer for Binnehuis in Imbuia, beautifully designed on slender elegant tapered legs, with shelved doors and four drawers with the most exquisite grain.
Dimensions: 137,5 x 40,5 x H 84 cm
The wood has been lightly refurbished and refinished and it is in very good vintage condition. A great sideboard that will stand the test of time.
Beautifully designed and made, a real collector’s item and exquisite heirloom piece. Owning an EE Meyer piece is owning a piece of history, South Africa's most sought-after mid-century furniture manufacturer. Meyer was the South African master of understated mid-century elegance, with sober and clean designs. The majority of Meyer's furniture was made in the beautiful hardwood imbuia.
The Binnehuis furniture stores were located in Cape Town and Somerset-West, and were owned by a Dutch businessman and his wife, Mr and Mrs van Ewijck, who moved between South Africa and the Netherlands. It seems they were most prolific during the 1960s.
As much as we love Scandinavian furniture, some of our mid-century South African pieces are just as beautifully designed and manufactured.
