About the Item

Mid-Century Modern United Furniture Company vintage circa 1950s tall dresser. A fine example of American retro furniture design. Solid construction with no particle board. Walnut wood veneer over solid wood. The drawers all feature .5" tall wood facades with dovetail joinery and smooth glides. Note the design details of rounded, thick trim along the dresser perimeter and Danish style legs. Truly a spectacular piece. This example has a lightly cerused look, which adds to its warmth and contrast. Popularized by the mid-century design era, and much replicated in contemporary pieces. Condition: Expertly & professionally restored. The old finish was chemically stripped. The walnut surfaces sanded - stained - satin-lacquered with dark enameled details, and wax-burnished for a warm luster that looks like the best patina you have ever seen! All drawers inspected, glued as needed, cleaned and work smoothly. You will love the quality of the work in this fine restoration!
