The Design Statement Experience the pinnacle of Mid-Century architectural glamour with this rare pair of Lane Altavista "Espana" nightstands. Originally debuted at the 1958 Madrid Exhibition, the Espana series is a masterclass in Dorothy Draper style, celebrated for its bold Mediterranean-inspired fretwork. Finished in a striking high-gloss "Modern Noir," these petite chests bridge the gap between vintage soul and 2026’s high-contrast interior trends.
Master Craftsmanship & Construction These original Lane pieces are defined by their sturdy, heavy construction. Unlike modern mass-produced furniture, these nightstands possess a significant "heft," featuring solid wood frames and original brass-finished hardware. Each chest offers three deep drawers, providing substantial storage without sacrificing their sophisticated, sculptural silhouette.
Details:
– Dimensions: 21.25″ H × 24″ W × 10.5″ D
– Maker: Lane Furniture, Altavista, Virginia
– Style: Dorothy Draper Espana, Hollywood Regency
– Finish: Black lacquer with gold trim and hardware
– Wood: Likely solid walnut or cherry with lacquered veneer
– Date: Circa 1970s
– Weight: Extremely heavy and well-built—true quality craftsmanship
Style Coordination:
– Hollywood Regency: The bold contrast of black and gold, paired with luxe finishes, makes these nightstands a natural fit for glamorous interiors with mirrored accents, velvet upholstery, and dramatic lighting.
– Art Deco: Their symmetrical lines, metallic trim, and geometric flair echo the elegance of Deco-era furnishings—perfect alongside lacquered consoles, sunburst mirrors, or fluted glass.
– Modern 70s–80s: The sleek lacquer and minimalist form align beautifully with postmodern interiors, especially when paired with chrome, smoked glass, or sculptural lighting.
