Art Deco Waterfall Walnut Tallboy Chest, Early 20th Century

Item Details

This Art Deco tallboy chest is a quintessential example of the American Waterfall style popular during the 1930s and 40s. Crafted with vibrant book-matched walnut veneers, the piece is defined by its signature rounded top edge and streamlined vertical profile. The chest contains five spacious drawers, each ornamented with substantial circular ring pulls in a patinated brass finish. Construction details include machine-dovetailed drawer boxes and a solid plinth base, reflecting the industrial craftsmanship of the mid-20th century. With its bold geometric hardware and high-contrast wood grain, this chest serves as a functional storage piece that embodies the optimistic, machine-age aesthetic of the pre-war era.
