Max Keuhne Style Chest of Drawers with Incised Flowers and Brass Strapping

About the Item

Henredon long low modernist chest of six drawers, three by three, each face of which has been decoratively incised with a pattern of flower and embellished with solid brass ribbon motif, circa 1959. Reminiscent of furniture designed by Max Keuhne for the Whitney family. Also seems inspired by Japanese Isho-Dansu chests. Top right drawer fitted with removable dividers and vide poche. Very clean inside and out. Patination to brass. Ebonized walnut finish beautifully restored. Ready to place. Unmarked but matching nightstand is labeled Henredon. Similar to a design by Adolf Loos. See our separate listing LU886612991001 for the matching high boy chest of drawers.

  • Dorothy Draper Viennese Collection Ivory Chest with Gold Incised Drawers
    By Dorothy Draper, Henredon
    Located in Saint Louis, MO
    Hollywood glamour then and now, this Viennese Collection chest of drawers was designed by the Queen of Hollywood Regency - Dorothy Draper - in the early 1960s and features solid brass rectangular pulls centered amidst incised rectangles set in an octagonal drawer front pattern, circa 1960. Dorothy Draper's incised pattern purposefully blurs the rectangular drawer fronts and instead focuses the admirer on the glamorous honeycomb pattern outlined in gold lacquer and finished with glowing solid brass drawer pulls. She transforms a large, functional three drawer chest into an artistic object with golden shapes and textures. The pattern also interlocks in pairs or sets of three, so these chests look especially grand in sets. The piece is finished on all sides which allows it to float in a room. As they say, the eye has to travel and this Dorothy Draper Viennese chest...
