About the Item

Conant Ball 5 drawer chest. American Revival circa 1935. These legs are really lovely. The chest appears to have had a faux bird's-eye finish. The finish on the top is not perfect. The overall patina is pretty nice. We can lightly refinish the top if you specify at time of check-out. The front has some light spots in the faux finish which seem to be part of the character. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Historical Note: Sort of curious that this is made by Connant Ball, a company pivotal to the advancement of American Modern Design in the mid 20th century. After the Century of Progress Worlds Fair in Chicago, Connant Ball contracted Russell Wright to design a branded line of blonde sold panel furniture (c.1935). The Russell Wright for Conant Ball line was an early bubble example of Desginer branded marketing for Furniture; American Modern furniture. After WWII the company contracted the gentleman Leslie Diamond to design a broader line of modern furniture in blonde solid panel construction (c.1947). Conant Ball did not initiate ad campaigns for designer branded furniture with Leslie Diamond, as they did with the Russel Wright furniture pre-war. Seems that the trends were different post war with the Designer Branding of Eames, Nelson and Paul McCobb. The post war furniture designed by Leslie Diamond were extraordinarily popular and competitive with Paul McCobb Planner group without the designer brand. Seems the pre-war experiment with Russell Wright furniture had a lasting effect to promote the Company name at Conant Ball. This narrative is today's setting for what would happen in the immediate years after the construction of the 5 drawer chest in this listing. Seems Conant Ball was making some really nice niche furniture at the onset of American Mid-Century Modern trends.
