"Henredon Furniture Co." Chest

While I can't attribute this directly to Dorothy Draper, it was at the least influenced by her designs.  Dorothy Draper started the first interior design company in the U.S. in 1923 and later designed many pieces for Henredon Furniture during the forties and fifties.  This beautiful, neo-classical, 6 drawer chest has fantastic hardware and is decorated with hand painted gold leafed accents.  36"l.,  19"w.,  51 1/2"h.  American, c.1950 SOLD
