Night Stands

A Chinese Qing Dynasty period green lacquer bedside cabinet from the 19th century, with removable top and brass hardware. Created in China during the 19th century, this bedside cabinet attracts our attention with its green lacquer complimenting the linear silhouette beautifully. Showcasing a removable top, the cabinet presents two doors on the façade, fitted with leaf pulls. Raised on four short feet with horse hoof extremities in the front, this 19th century Qing Dynasty Chinese cabinet...

Night stand Anna Castelli Ferreri for Kartell Green round made in Italy 1960.

Why are the green drawer fronts different tones? Good question. Nightstand "B" was acquired singularly over two years ago and we vowed to wait patiently until a mate turned up. And yes, we're fanatical about Chapter One. Finally one did, but "Nightstand A" was probably close to a window for many decades and the sun faded the green plastic just a touch. The difference is only slightly noticeable, especially when considering that both nightstands were fully re-painted in white lacquer, so they're a perfect match otherwise. Now that you know the exciting backstory, here are the details......... Well it’s 2022, and Broyhill’s Chapter One Collection is officially harder to find and more sought after than the Raymond Loewy orginals. With all due respect to Raymond Loewy, there really is something magical about the Chapter One line. Maybe they’re just more fun and approachable. Maybe it’s the proportions and practicality. Regardless, they’re one of our favourite collections of all time. The restoration team pulled no punches on these nightstands, and the end result exceeded our expectations. Every inch of the wood bodies and bases were professionally sanded, primed and painted to match the original bright white. The laminate top and dark lime green molded plastic drawer fronts were finally buffed and polished to a glassy shine. It’s tough to see these go, but we know they will be loved. Broyhill’s Chapter one collection borrowed from the plastic mold injection designs made famous by legendary designer Raymond Loewy. Like Loewy, this Chapter One Green Dresser employs the futuristic use of color and materials in a way that had not been seen before. The bright green plastic captures the playful spirit of the 1970s. Each cabinet is supported by a white lacquered, curved plinth base that compliments the overall form of the nightstands. Two wide drawers roll-out on metal glides that have been adjusted and oiled to allow for easy functionality, and proper spacing. These colorful, curvaceous commodes could have blended in nicely on the set of 2001 A Space Odyssey. The space-age look has never been more desirable, which may help explain the recent scarcity of all things Chapter One. Chapter One green nightstands...
