A Brutalist Side Chest with Three Drawers and a Brass Base

About the Item

This elm side chest dates to the 1950's and is an example of "brutalist" or late mid-century furniture design. The casework is square and chunky, contrasting with solid elm drawer fronts featuring rounded, organic shapes. The juxtaposition is interesting. The chest was probably part of a pair of bedside chests. It is practical and offers excellent storage. The piece is raised on a brass base.
