Made in the USA circa 1960s, it showcases a refined blend of Eastern inspiration and modern American craftsmanship.

Constructed from richly grained walnut with a warm, satin finish, the piece features clean lines and elegant recessed paneling. The two cabinet doors are accented by a striking round nickel medallion with drop-pull hardware—an unmistakable nod to Chinoiserie influence. Inside, you’ll find eight smoothly operating drawers with sculpted finger pulls and an upper drawer fitted with built-in dividers, ideal for organizing silverware, jewelry, or barware.

This versatile cabinet works beautifully as a compact dresser, sideboard, entry console, or bar cabinet. It’s a rare find that combines form, function, and heritage in one elegant package. See less
