Enhance your interior with this iconic Art Deco Streamlined High Chest, designed by the illustrious Donald Deskey, circa 1930. This American-made piece exemplifies Deskey's signature style and the refined elegance of the Art Deco era, featuring a stunning robin's egg blue lacquer finish that brings a touch of sophistication and color to any room. This is the original color chosen by Deskey, which has been mint restored to its original vibrance. The top of the chest is black lacquered.
The high chest boasts clean, streamlined lines characteristic of the Art Deco movement and is accented with brushed aluminum pulls that provide a sleek, modern contrast to the lacquered surface. Each detail is meticulously crafted, reflecting Deskey's commitment to both aesthetic beauty and functional design.
