This piece is highly characteristic of the celebrated "Prelude" line by Ace-hi, a California-based manufacturer known for high-quality craftsmanship during the American Studio Craft movement.

While most furniture from this era utilizes walnut veneers, this specimen is distinguished by its solid walnut construction, featuring a vibrant, active grain throughout. The piece sits atop iconic tapered peg legs, providing a light, airy silhouette despite its solid build. The four drawers feature a clean, symmetrical 2x2 layout and have been updated with minimalist white cylindrical pulls that accent the warm wood tones.

At 20 inches high, this versatile piece is ideally suited for use as a media console, a low entryway credenza, or a statement oversized nightstand.

Condition
Excellent - Refinished. This piece has been professionally refinished not too long ago and is in beautiful vintage condition. The wood grain is vibrant and well-nourished. As with all authentic vintage items, please expect minor surface scratches or small nicks consistent with its age and history. Structurally, the piece is rock solid with all drawers gliding smoothly.
