L.A. Period Furniture Mid Century Modern "Step" Highboy, Circa 1950s

Item Details

This highboy dresser by L.A. Period Furniture exemplifies the American Modern aesthetic of the 1950s with its distinctive tiered ‘step-back’ silhouette. The upper section features a gentle bow-front curve and is equipped with four smaller drawer fronts, while the lower section contains three expansive drawers. The piece retains its original decorative hardware, featuring organic leaf-motif pulls on the bottom and minimalist bullet pulls on the top. Finished in a light ‘blonde’ wood veneer, the dresser sits on a matching recessed plinth base. The reverse retains original factory stenciling confirming its provenance as a product of the Los Angeles furniture manufacturing district.
