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!!!

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...

American of Martinsville Accord Walnut & Cane Dresser & Bachelor’s Chest w/ X’s
By American of Martinsville, Merton Gershun
Located in Topeka, KS
Handsome pair of chests from American of Martinsville and Merton Gershun’s Accord line of furniture with the signature X’s and asymmetric handles. One is the long walnut dresser with three drawers and cane doors and the second is the three-drawer bachelor’s chest. Two separate pieces but butted together make one long marvelous piece. We are pricing them as a set. Both are in wonderful restored condition. However, they are not without signs of age and use having an overall beautiful age patina which includes small nicks, scratches, and imperfections but nothing major. Please see photos, circa mid-20th century. Oh my! If you could ever say X marks the spot for a piece of furniture…you can say it with this pair. Note the metal signature crosses in their tops and their fabulous asymmetric or staggered handles. These gorgeous chests are from the Accord collection produced in the mid-20th century by American of Martinsville and designed by Merton Gershun. One piece is the longer dresser which is comprised of a bank of three drawers next to three doors with cane inserts. One door opens to the left and the other two doors bi-fold open to the right revealing three interior drawers. This dresser alone is wonderful but paired with the matching bachelor’s chest, which has the same bank of three drawers as the dresser, and butted next to the doors, making it one extra long cabinet...
