Crafted circa 1960s, the piece offers clean-lined sophistication with an architectural silhouette softened by a rounded front edge detail and luxurious walnut grain. Taylor, widely regarded for blending natural materials with tailored modernism, imbued this design with both quiet confidence and visual warmth.

The chest features six full-width drawers fitted with striking solid brass double-ring pulls—an understated but iconic hardware choice. Each drawer glides smoothly and offers generous storage, making this piece as functional as it is stylish. The walnut veneer is richly figured with lovely vertical grain patterns that emphasize the streamlined form, and the edges are subtly rounded for a soft modern profile.

In nice vintage condition with some signs of wear from age and use, including light scuffs and surface imperfections visible in the photos. Structurally sound and ready for use. A beautiful choice for a primary bedroom, guest room, or even as a sophisticated statement in a modern office or hallway. This is a highly collectible piece from a sought-after designer, perfect for MCM enthusiasts and serious collectors alike. 47h x 38w x 19d See less
