1979 Solid Black Walnut Credenza by American Craftsman Arden Riddle

About the Item

This is a large handmade credenza filing cabinet, produced by Arden Riddle in Copley, Ohio in 1979. The piece was crafted by hand of polished walnut that has been oiled. It has two pull-out writing surfaces, three large drawers with custom dividers within them, and two filing drawers. Riddle was an American designer who worked in the Arts and Crafts tradition. He served in the US Army during World War II, after which he started the Arden Riddle Furniture Company. Riddle spent the second half of the 20th Century designing, producing, and selling his own designs. This piece measures 25 7/8 inches deep, 48 inches wide, and is 29 inches tall. It is in absolutely pristine condition, having been very well taken care of over the years. There are some very small scratches and scuffs at the very bottom of the piece. Overall, this piece is in extremely good condition with very light wear. Please see photos.
