About the Item
Pair of Donald Deskey Streamlined Art Deco Chests, USA, Circa 1930s
A striking matched pair of Art Deco chests are iconic examples of the streamlined modern aesthetic championed by Donald Deskey. Crafted in richly figured mahogany, retaining the original finish , a deep reddish-brown finish, each chest showcases four long drawers with integrated horizontal pulls that emphasize the sleek, linear geometry of the design. The corners are softly rounded, a hallmark of the Moderne period, lending a softened elegance to their bold architectural form.
Each chest measures 42 inches wide, 34 inches high, and 18.5 inches deep. The drawers offer ample storage, measuring 39 inches wide, 7 inches high, and 16.5 inches deep, making these chests both highly functional and visually compelling. The sides display a beautiful bookmatched grain pattern, further highlighting the craftsmanship and attention to material selection.
Ideal as a pair of dressers, large nightstands, or even sideboards in a dining room or entryway, these chests capture the essence of early American modernist design. Their understated luxury and timeless silhouette make them a rare find for collectors or those seeking distinctive Deco furnishings.
