This vintage four-drawer chest, bearing the original cast brass Templeton plaque inside the drawer, is a confident and well-resolved example of the company’s output — a piece that balances mid-century modernist simplicity with the warmth of quality American walnut.

The design details are what make this chest stand out. Each drawer face features a routed arc pull carved directly into the wood — no metal hardware, no applied pulls, just a clean architectural gesture that is both functional and elegant. The rounded corner posts extend slightly above the top surface to form a low gallery rail, a thoughtful detail that gives the case a sense of enclosure and finish. The drawer interiors are clean maple or birch secondary wood, well-fitted and smooth-running throughout.

Templeton is a genuine American regional manufacturer with a specific and verifiable history — a meaningful distinction in a vintage market filled with unlabeled and misattributed pieces. This chest is offered with its original plaque intact and is ready to use as a bedroom dresser, entryway chest, or media stand.

A confirmed piece of vintage mid-century American furniture from a Vermont maker with a real story.
