About the Item
Handsome vintage Mid-Century Modern pair of chests of drawers labeled Made in Brazil by Singer composed of hardwood frames with 7 drawers each, carved wood pulls, and veneered particleboard.

Specifically, the veneered particleboard lower back corners on both cabinets have been repaired. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 1950-1960’s.
No need to adjust your glasses people… you’re eyes are not playing tricks on you… you ARE seeing DOUBLE!! That’s right… TWO chests of drawers = TWICE as NICE!!!! This is an extremely handsome vintage pair of chests of drawers made in Brazil by Singer. You heard that right… Singer… the sewing machine company!! We have included some interesting facts about the beginning and expansion of the company in a short blurb below… check it out!! They are labeled and composed of lovely hardwood frames bearing SEVEN spacious drawers each with hand carved wood pulls and veneered particleboard. We originally believed the wood to be walnut but after much research, location of the company at the time of production, and the presence of the knots in the wood, we believe it is more likely Brazilian Rosewood. Either way… it is GORGEOUS!!! Obviously, they would be AWESOME in a bedroom or dressing area, however, butted up next to each other they would make one IMPRESSIVE extra-large cabinet utilized in an entertainment room, large family room, or in a living or dining area filled with linens, towels, accessories, or anything that you need to stow away! They would also be fantastic placed side by side used as colonnade cabinets (a.k.a. room dividers!) Their marvelous Mid-Century Modern style borders with a little Scandinavian Modern magnificence and will be beautiful among almost any style décor. This is a highly functional, very versatile, pair of cabinets or chests of drawers with an elite reputation and a phenomenal presence you are sure to love for years to come.
Singer is an acclaimed company best known for its renowned sewing machines, but they also have a history of furniture production in Brazil. Singer established its first sewing machine factory in Latin America in Campinas, Brazil, opening on May 14, 1955. This factory, known as the Company Palmeiras Industrial Machinery and Furniture, initially produced both machines and furniture. The factory grew rapidly, exporting machines to Chile by 1958. As sales increased and production grew, new products were introduced, and the factory expanded, leading to the creation of additional units, including a needle factory in Indaiatuba and a new factory in 1997 in Juazeiro do Norte, Ceará, with all manufacturing eventually consolidated there by 2005. This plant, significantly expanded in 2005, is now Singer's only sewing machine manufacturing facility outside of China. While the exact timeline of Singer's furniture production in Brazil is not extensively detailed in the provided information, the establishment of the Company Palmeiras Industrial Machinery and Furniture suggests a period of furniture manufacturing in the mid-1950s and beyond. However, by the late 1980s, Singer was moving manufacturing to China, and by 1999, reports focused on financial difficulties.
Clean lines, reputable maker, versatility, and a handsome presence to any room! These vintage chests of drawers by Singer check ALL of the boxes. Surely you aren’t still thinking about it?? Just do it!! Make them YOURS!!!

View AllVintage MCM Rosewood Lingerie Chest by Glenn of California
By Glenn of California
Located in Topeka, KS
Stunning vintage mid-century modern lingerie chest by Glenn of California. Comprised of rosewood, aluminum strip, and black painted sides. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. Black paint has been touched up on corners & top was sanded and Danish oil applied. A fresh coat of Danish oil was also applied to the drawer fronts. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Mid-20th Century.
NOTE: If you love this lingerie chest by Glenn of California we have a matching nightstand here for sale if it is still available.
What a beautiful way to spoil your lingerie!! This is a stunning vintage mid-century modern lingerie chest designed by Glenn of California. It is comprised of GORGEOUS rosewood top and drawer fronts bordered by an aluminum strip, grooved handle pulls on the sides of the drawers, cased with black painted sides. It has eight drawers that graduate in size from smaller at the top to larger at the bottom. Maybe you don’t have lingerie?? No worries!! Although it is called a lingerie chest you could certainly use it as a tall, narrow dresser in your bedroom or dressing area. It would be a lovely cabinet to use in a study, office, hall, or entry for linens, books, office supplies, or anything you want to stow away in a phenomenal piece of mid-century modern excellence.
Glenn of California was owned by father and son team Isaac and Robert Baron and based in Arcadia California and has been credited for being at the forefront of the West Coast modernist design movement in the 1940’s and 1950’s. The company made a name for itself when it hired Milo Baughman. They would go on to hire Swedish architect and designer Greta Magnusson-Grossman, the first woman to receive an award from the Swedish Society of Industrial Design. The significant furniture line she and Baughman designed called the California Modern Collection became known for its laid-back Los Angeles style and integration of walnut, iron, and Formica. Glenn of California collaborated with many notable designers including Kipp Stweart, Paul Laslo, John Kapel, & Stanley Young. Although Glenn of California is no longer in business, their high-end vintage furniture is sought after today.

Mid-20th Century MCM Walnut & Cane Flip Top Storage Twin Headboards a Pair
Located in Topeka, KS
Awesome vintage Mid-Century Modern walnut & cane flip top storage twin headboards, a pair. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that these are vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored.

Mid-20th Century Scandinavian Modern Teak Roll Top Desk or Dresser
Located in Topeka, KS
Handsome vintage Scandinavian Modern teak roll top desk or dresser. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. It has some visible wear, particularly in the top, so you can see some scratches and dings. And it has a newly modified recessed black painted base as it encountered water at some point in its life and could not be refinished so we revamped it, modified, and painted the base black. There are some small rings on the desktop. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Mid-20th Century.

American of Martinsville Accord Walnut & Cane Dresser & Bachelor’s Chest w/ X’s
By American of Martinsville, Merton Gershun
Located in Topeka, KS
Handsome pair of chests from American of Martinsville and Merton Gershun’s Accord line of furniture with the signature X’s and asymmetric handles. One is the long walnut dresser with three drawers and cane doors and the second is the three-drawer bachelor’s chest. Two separate pieces but butted together make one long marvelous piece. We are pricing them as a set. Both are in wonderful restored condition. However, they are not without signs of age and use having an overall beautiful age patina which includes small nicks, scratches, and imperfections but nothing major. Please see photos, circa mid-20th century.
Oh my! If you could ever say X marks the spot for a piece of furniture…you can say it with this pair. Note the metal signature crosses in their tops and their fabulous asymmetric or staggered handles. These gorgeous chests are from the Accord collection produced in the mid-20th century by American of Martinsville and designed by Merton Gershun. One piece is the longer dresser which is comprised of a bank of three drawers next to three doors with cane inserts. One door opens to the left and the other two doors bi-fold open to the right revealing three interior drawers. This dresser alone is wonderful but paired with the matching bachelor’s chest, which has the same bank of three drawers as the dresser, and butted next to the doors, making it one extra long cabinet...
