L.A. Period Furniture "Starline" Blonde Birch Lowboy Dresser, 1950s

Item Details

This 1950s lowboy dresser by L.A. Period Furniture is a premier example of West Coast Mid-Century Modernism. Crafted in blonde-finished birch, the piece features a sophisticated eight-drawer layout designed to offer diverse storage options. The dresser is characterized by its iconic sculptural brass hardware, most notably the oversized butterfly-style pulls that anchor the central drawers. The clean, rectilinear silhouette is elevated by a recessed plinth base, reflecting the transition from Art Deco influence to the streamlined Modernism of the post-war era. As an authentic Los Angeles-made piece, it bears the original factory stencils on the reverse, serving as a functional and highly collectible artifact of mid-century California design.
