This exceptional mid-century modern highboy / chest of drawers, designed by Arthur Umanoff and produced by Dillingham in the United States during the 1970s, showcases the timeless appeal of natural burl wood in its original finish. The surface features a richly patterned burl, with intricate clusters and swirling grain that create a warm, organic visual texture unique to each panel.
The design is clean and minimal, emphasizing form and material over ornamentation. Five generously sized drawers are seamlessly integrated into the front, preserving a sleek, uninterrupted facade with no visible hardware. The piece rests on a contrasting black lacquer plinth base, adding a grounded, modern edge that highlights the warmth of the burl wood above.
Retaining its original finish, the cabinet reflects its vintage character and authenticity, making it especially appealing to collectors who appreciate untouched surfaces and honest patina. The consistent grain alignment across the drawer fronts further speaks to the quality craftsmanship associated with Dillingham’s production.
Both functional and sculptural, this highboy offers ample storage while serving as a statement piece. A rare and desirable example from one of Umanoff’s most sought-after collections, perfect for refined mid-century or contemporary interiors.
