Vintage mid-century design by famous world renowned designer Raymond Loewy … specifically for Mengel.
Solid oak. Hard as a rock. … more Vintage mid-century design by famous world renowned designer Raymond Loewy … specifically for Mengel.
Solid oak. Hard as a rock.
This piece just received a meticulous 25+ hour professional refinishing.
It was originally a cerused
2-layer finish of a mild base coat of muted blue, and a top finish of a mild green. That finish had several troublesome scratches that were beyond restoration.
We had the entire original paint stripped clean to the original oak (see photo #10) … before applying 5 coats of a very thin black lacquer spray finish.
The lacquer was thinly applied so as to subtly draw out the deep natural grain.
The drawer pulls are original and are a heavy solid matte finish of a silver aluminum color.
The top drawer … divided into 3 slots … is 4 inches deep and the remaining drawers are 6 inches deep.
The interior of the drawers are almost perfect.
The distinct maker’s mark is inside the front side of the top drawer … and brightly glistens.
The chest sits on 4 solid little silver feet-discs of heavy metal … that slide well on carpet.
Casters could easily be applied for “smooth” move-ability and/or to even transform it into a bar cart.
The natural exposed wood - the top and the front kickplate - have received 4 separate satin coats of Minwax polyurethane.
It could also be used as a living room or den piece … or as a bedside table … with distinction.
At this point, after the very thorough refinishing job, a change to a different color, would be a breeze, at this point.
Either way … you’re good to go. less

Solid as a rock, joints. Very heavy and sturdy piece. Hairline scratches on the backside, that would typically be situated against a wall. If you desire to place it “out in the open” … as perhaps an end table by a couch, we can have the back refinished quite easily, for an additional cost of $100. The backside is a heavy piece of plywood, as opposed to solid oak, as is the balance of this item. The second drawer from the bottom … has a very mild concave section of roughly three inches in diameter … as a result of “sanding out” a surface imperfection during the refinishing process. It is to the right of the drawer pull, as you face the chest. It is roughly 1/32” deep and barely noticeable. The balance is far above average. less
