This sideboard is a fabulous example of Fred Ward furniture made for Myer Heritage. A highly regarded designer (1947 – 1988), his furniture design is characterised by his pioneering use of unstained Australian timbers. Among some of the timbers he used to make furniture were Australian blackwood, myrtle, coachwood, walnut, fiddle-back and whitegum; all used to compliment the clean, simple and flowing lines of his designs.

Condition overview; in good condition, relative to its age, it is a solid, beautifully crafted piece. The drawers and sliding doors all work well.  There are no cracks or chips in the glass.  As expected on a used piece of this vintage, it displays general wear, knock and surface marks and the finish is inconsistent in areas.

Dimensions; 1385mm wide x 480mm deep x 765mm high.  Internal shelf height clearances from top to bottom; 195mm, 330mm.
