Modern Glenn of California Dressers or Credenzas Off White Lacquer a Pair
About the Item
Marvelous vintage Modern to Postmodern dressers or credenzas with aluminum accents surrounding the drawers by Glenn of California, a pair. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. These have been sanded and refinished and given a new coat of off-white lacquer. Please see photos and zoom in for details as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 1970-1980’s.
NOTE: If you love this pair of dressers by Glenn of California, we also have the matching king-sized headboard, platform, and pair of nightstands and a listing for the whole bedroom set listed here for sale separately if they are still available.
This is a GORGEOUS pair of dressers by Glenn of California that has been given a fresh coat of off white or vanilla colored lacquer, and they look INCREDIBLE!! They are a waterfall style with six spacious drawers each bearing aluminum accents surrounding the drawers, bullnose side pulls, and wonderful recessed bases. They have TONS of adequate space and they’re EXACTLY what you need to set your bedroom apart from ALL others!! Unless of course, you aren’t in need of dressers, in which case, they are versatile enough to utilize as credenzas in your family room, a pair of buffets in your dining area, or storage cabinets in any room! They would be marvelous under a couple of large mirrors or artwork adorned with foliage, books, framed family photos, a wonderful sculpture, or a fabulous pair of table lamps! These dressers (or credenzas) are Modern to Postmodern in style with a bit of Art Deco Revival flair and we think they would look phenomenal blended with your Contemporary, Hollywood Regency, or Mid-Century Modern pieces or of course, mixed with your modern, postmodern, or art deco revival furnishings. We fell in love with them the moment we saw them and know you have too.
Glenn of California was owned by the 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.
Call them dressers, call them credenzas, call them cabinets or buffets. But whatever you choose to call these lovely dressers by Glenn of California… you simply MUST call them YOURS!!!

Glenn of California
Credited for being at the forefront of the West Coast modernist design movement, Glenn of California introduced a relaxed, breezy and elegant style to postwar America. The company was based in Arcadia, California, a city situated near Los Angeles at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains. It specialized in the production of easily accessible and reasonably affordable furnishings that included credenzas, chairs, cabinets, tables and more.
However, it wasn’t until Glenn of California hired the prolific American furniture designer Milo Baughman that the company made a name for itself in the annals of American mid-century modern design. Baughman prioritized function — he worked with simple forms and often used sleek, flat-bar chromed metal and natural materials such as walnut in his pieces.
Glenn of California marketed Baughman’s designs along with those of unsung Swedish architect and designer Greta Magnusson Grossman in their successful California Modern collection. The first woman to receive an award from the Swedish Society of Industrial Design, Magnusson Grossman drew on her Scandinavian heritage to create iconic homes as well as furnishings for Glenn and other companies that helped define mid-century-era Southern California. The furniture she and Baughman designed became known for its laid-back Los Angeles style and thoughtful integration of walnut, iron and Formica.
In addition to employing the talents of Baughman and Magnusson Grossman, Glenn of California collaborated with several other notable and influential designers. These included Stanley Young, Kipp Stewart, John Kapel and Paul Laszlo. Laszlo, an American-Hungarian architect, interior designer and furniture designer, was well-regarded among Hollywood’s elite and designed pieces for Cary Grant, Barbara Stanwyck and Elizabeth Taylor.
While the company is no longer in business, vintage Glenn of California furniture remains highly sought-after by collectors and enthusiasts.

Lane was founded in 1912 by Edward Hudson Lane at the age of 21, upon his father’s suggestion after he, John Edward Lane, bought a small packing-box plant in Altavista, Virginia. Edward procured a loan and converted the factory to make cedar chests and named it The Standard Red Cedar Chest Co. Sales were good and the company expanded. But during WWI, with the banning of rail freight deemed non-essential, they began making pine ammunition boxes. This is notable as it led to an assembly line which was revolutionary and became the first moving conveyor assembly system in the furniture industry. After the war, with sales still increasing, Ed Lane decided he could risk giving the company his name and changed it to The Lane Co...
