This no-frills, no-fuss dressing table must have been a part of one of the last collections of the Duros furniture company from Cape Town, that was founded in 1904 by the immigrant Latvian cabinet maker, Hyman Ospovat. He merged the first two letters of his name with the word "durable", to come up with the soon to be well-known brand "Duros".
This kind of design is reminiscent of the "International style" in architecture, which has done away with all ornament and uses repetitive modular forms. The very large mirror, that is angled slightly, is a lovely touch.
Condition: Very good vintage. The top is sanded and sealed.
Dimensions: 136 x 47 x 134 cm (h). The cabinet is 68 cm high.
