Mid-Century Modern Highboy Dresser from the Lane Rhythm Collection

SOLD

mid century modern walnut tall chest dresser lane rhythm

<SOLD> This mid-century modern tall chest from the Lane Rhythm Collection offers everything a modern highboy dresser should : style, stability, and storage.  There are three roomy lower drawers and two upper drawers concealed behind double doors, all of which slide on patented metal glides to ensure strength and ease of operation. The rattan door panels are reversible in order to display a finished walnut surface if desired.  The frame of this chest is built of solid poplar overlaid with walnut veneer, while the base and pulls are constructed of solid pecan. The door frames are made of solid walnut.

Lane introduced the Rhythm Line in the mid-1960’s to incorporate elements of Shaker furniture into a modern design scheme offering a more traditional approach.  The simplicity of the inward tapered legs and subtle arc at the top of the door frames allude to both Shaker and Danish design aesthetics. The horizontal rounded-over drawer pulls which span the width of the piece appeal to minimalist sensibilities while providing paramount functionality. The select Walnut veneer which gilds this beautiful chest was originally given a warm medium amber finish which differentiates Lane Rhythm furniture from most of it’s competitors. Only Drexel’s Declaration Line offers a finish of similar character and quality. This dresser has been refinished with a Tung Oil varnish which reproduces the depth and lustre of the original finish while improving durability and water resistance. The top of this dresser features especially rich figuring which is enhanced by the treatment it has been given in our restoration shop.  Measures 40″W X 18″D X 46.25″H.
