A 1960s teak and walnut six-drawer brutalist dresser defined by its alternating veneer composition and disciplined horizontal profile.
The façade is arranged in a checkerboard sequence of vertical teak panels framed within a darker walnut case. The interplay of tone and grain establishes rhythm without ornament. A recessed plinth base visually anchors the form.
Professionally restored to preserve the natural depth and chatoyance of the original veneer. The finish enhances warmth while maintaining grain clarity and tonal contrast.
Originally retailed in Toronto by Alton Furniture Company during the mid-century period.
Features:
• Alternating vertical teak veneer panels - associated with brutalist style
• Walnut case framing and plinth base
• Original sculptural brass pulls
• Clean linear proportions
• Substantial period construction
• Professionally refinished surface
The veneer exhibits light-reactive movement, shifting subtly with angle and illumination.
Drawers operate smoothly and interiors are clean. Hardware is original.
An architectural case piece with strong material contrast and balanced proportions.
