Made of solid birch, its classic profile and architectural legs are a blend of the art deco and modern elements for which Heywood Wakefield is known.

This dresser had been painted multiple times and unfortunately its original Briar finish could not be saved. Though it had paint covering portions of the backside of the dresser, the following legible stamps remained:

No. 1754
Pat No. 2,126,916
Briar
July 31, 1958

The body and drawers of this dresser have been painted in Sherwin Williams' Oakmoss; the birch wood on the top and legs are unstained and protected with four coats of General Finishes HIgh Performance Topcoat. Hardware is solid brass.

Items from Heywood Wakefield's Prophecy line are not widely available, making this dresser an excellent addition to any midcentury collection. Please see condition notes and photos for a detailed view of this item.
__________________________
About the maker:
Like so many hyphenated company names, Heywood-Wakefield was once two separate entities. Heywood Brothers was established in 1826; the Wakefield Company was founded in 1855. As the 1900s approached they were rivals, both producing rattan and wicker pieces popular at the time. In 1897 they made the decision to merge, becoming Heywood Brothers & Wakefield Company. Over the next couple of decades -- after acquiring several other furniture manufacturers -- they expanded their offerings and in 1921 shortened their name to Heywood-Wakefield Company.

In the 1930s, Heywood-Wakefield truly came into its own. The company’s prominent designers took inspiration from the French Art Deco movement and helped shape the look of mid-century modern furniture, as well as the broader taste of the times. Ever since, they have been an iconic part of the era, known particularly for specializing in the highest quality hand-crafted solid wood furniture. less

Two small wood fill marks on the dresser top. Slight sag underneath the bottom drawer, but can't be seen when standing (photos included). See photos for a detailed view of this item and its condition. The body and drawers of the dresser have been painted in Benjamin Moore's Oakmoss, and the top and legs have been refinished to expose the birch wood. The dresser had been previously painted and no longer retained its original hardware, so the pulls have been replaced with solid brass rings and knobs. Drawers have been lined with paper that is removable. less
