From the renowned Drexel Precedent line, designed by Edward Wormley in 1949, comes this exquisite mid-century modern seven-drawer dresser. Crafted as a part of Drexel Furniture's introduction to modern design, Wormley's pieces were regularly featured in MoMa’s Good Design exhibits during the 1950s. This dresser showcases an impeccable linear silhouette balanced by its smooth, flat surfaces and sharp, clean edges.

Constructed with high-quality craftsmanship, the dresser features seven dovetailed drawers that ensure durability and smooth operation. Two of these drawers are outfitted with dividers, offering organized storage options for various items. The dresser's visual appeal is enhanced by heavy brass handles that provide a striking contrast against the warm elm and beech wood.

Its timeless design promises to elevate home décor while honoring the legacy of a pioneering designer.
