Mid-Century Stow Away Cedar Chest

SOLD

mid century stow away cedar chest

<SOLD> This rare Mid-Century Modern compact dresser by Cavalier circa 1945 has three unique vented cedar drawers to keep your belongings fresh and moth-free. This elegant chest has gorgeous, distinctive lines and unusual horizontal veneer figuring with sculpted walnut horseshoe shaped pulls. The casing has been refinished in our restoration shop and is in excellent condition.

The outer appearance of this chest was given considerable thought and is apparent in the placement of the incredibly striking veneer. Even the toeboard on this piece has been well thought out. Book matched walnut veneer meets in the center of two inwardly angled pieces creating a bowtie effect. The pulls on this chest are unlike any other we’ve seen : sculpted pieces of solid walnut shaped like flat sided irregular horseshoes with a curved bevel edge.

The interior of this chest and each individual drawer is constructed of fresh cedar. The drawers are vented to allow air to flow through. The Cavalier name offers “Complete Cedar-Chest Protection” and “Aroma-flow Constructed Drawers”

The “Stow Away” chest with “aroma flow constructed drawers” measures 36″W X 19″D X 30″H and is an  exceptional storage piece.  Sold on 6/11/16 for $425
