About the Item

Introducing a rare six-drawer dresser designed by the influential Barney Flagg for Drexel's Parallel Line. Constructed from a mix of solid and veneered walnut with exceptional old-growth woodgrains this expansive dresser is as functional as it is aesthetically pleasing. Featuring intricately-carved handles, six large drawers with ample storage space and angular shapes that harken back to the Atomic era this dresser is a true American gem. Barney Flagg was Drexel's most prolific designer of the Mid-Century Modern period. After serving in the Air Force during the Second World War, Flagg studied architecture and design and began a fruitful partnership with the Drexel Furniture Co. designing multiple pieces for multiple lines including the "Parallel", "Composite" and "Panorama" lines all of which have received critical acclaim and are highly collectible worldwide. His pieces remain timeless, iconic and uniquely American. The Drexel Furniture Co. began over a hundred years ago in Hickory, North Carolina with a single product and a simple vision. The product was a made-to-order dining chair. In the decades since, their product range has evolved into an assortment of timeless designs, drawn from significant periods and places, and from the talents of some of the world's most respected designers such as the aforementioned Barney Flagg and Kipp Stewart. Drexel is still producing pieces to this day with much reverence given to their craftsmanship and use of natural materials. With it's exceptional use and shaping of American black walnut, plentiful storage space and intricate detailing this gorgeous piece is sure to make a BOLD impression in any bedroom or living space. Make it yours today and elevate your bedroom's aesthetic to new heights before it's gone forever. ---Dimensions--- Width: 56 in / 142.24 cm Depth: 20.5 in / 52.07 cm Height: 32 in / 81.28 cm Save for one small chip repair and a small veneer repair this gorgeous six drawer dresser is in original vintage condition! The above mentioned repairs can be seen in the detail photos provided but there are no other signs of wear present save for a few nicks and light surface scratches (mostly relegated to the feet) and the variegated woodgrains of the walnut are absolutely stunning in natural light. All six drawers open and close with ease. This extraordinary dresser is ultra functional, structurally sound and ready for a lifetime more of use. Please view all photos and video for details on this dresser's current condition. We're limited on the amount of media we can post so additional photos and videos are available upon request.
