USA, ca. 1960s. A handsome two-piece gentleman’s chest or highboy by John Kapel for Glenn of California - retailed by John Stuart of NYC. Features walnut construction with a lower portion consisting of four wide storage drawers - each with original dividers. Upper portion opens to reveal adjustable shelves, three smaller accessory drawers, and a rectangular mirror that cleverly conceals an additional storage cabinet. Elegantly sculpted pulls add a soft organic moment - while inlaid black accents create an overall tailored look. Lightly refurbished and in overall excellent vintage condition.
Ideal for organizing even the most aggressive clothes horse.
John Kapel (1922-2020) was an American craftsman and furniture designer. After working with George Nelson for two years, Kapel moved to California where he produced work for Glenn of California and Brown-Saltman. Kapel also produced custom pieces in his own studio. This interest in the craft movement informed his commercial designs, which enhances their classic appeal.
Dimensions: 42” wide x 20” deep x 70.5” high.
