Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. We have repaired the trim around the top edge and have given all the black edges a new coat of paint. But it still has a beautiful all-over patina adding to its vintage charm. There is a darkened area in the center of the back of the drawer cabinet which looks to be a stain, however, it is the color of the natural wood grain. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Early to Mid-20th Century.

American of Martinsville was established in 1906 in Martinsville, Virginia by tobacco manufacturers, Ancil Witten, and Charles Keesee. Early on they produced only bedroom furniture. In the 1920s they expanded their production to include dining room furniture and by the end of the 1950s were vast in their offerings in purpose and style. With the expansion of travel and roadside motels, they began offering a mass-produced line for the many motels popping up across the country and continued this through the end of the 20th century. In 2000 they were acquired by La-Z-Boy Incorporated and today specialize in furniture for the hotel and healthcare industries.
