Thomasville Chest

Thomasville is best known for their high-quality, traditional furniture designs which they have been producing for over 100 years.  They did take some successful detours to Modern though, particularly during the 1960's and 70's.  This is one example.  This handsome three drawer chest has an ebonized top, ebonized wood and chrome pulls and a chrome platform base.  It's a great size, and would work just as well in a living room, den or office as in a bedroom.  46" w., 18" d., 30" h.  American, c. 1970's  SOLD
Condition:  Very good vintage condition with age appropriate wear.

John Van Koert for the Drexel Profile Collection; Chest of Drawers

Profiles in MCM.
"The fluid sculptural quality of each piece of Profile by Drexel has a lived-with feeling....unlike most contemporary.  Its warm inviting walnut anticipates your touch, caresses your home.  Soft accents of silver hardware give new elegance, and harmonize easily with your accessories.  Truly fine construction and good taste distinguishes Profile".  The copy, as well as the design of this chest by American Modernist designer John Van Koert, stand the test of time nicely.  The six drawer chest has a divided top, second and fifth drawer.  The chest as well as the hardware are both very sculptural, and the piece has a great looking "profile".  34" l.,  21" w., 48" h.  American, c.1950's  SOLD
