An exceptional Paul McCobb Planner Group credenza, manufactured by Winchendon Furniture Company in the late 1950s, representing one of the most enduring and collectible storage designs of the American Mid-Century Modern movement.

Executed in beautifully grained maple, this desirable example features the scarce black iron base, giving the cabinet its distinctive floating profile while highlighting McCobb's disciplined architectural approach to furniture design. The contrasting black perforated (pegboard) sliding doors add visual depth and texture, making this one of the most recognizable Planner Group configurations.

Behind the sliding doors, the interior offers a practical and highly functional arrangement with three drawers on the right side and a single drawer on the left, providing generous concealed storage for dining, office, or living spaces. The cabinet's clean proportions and minimalist detailing allow it to integrate effortlessly into both period and contemporary interiors.

The maple case has been professionally restored and presents beautifully, showcasing the warmth and character of the wood while preserving the crisp lines for which Planner Group is celebrated. The credenza remains in excellent condition throughout, with the original black iron base diplaying a gorgeous patina.
