This 1960s American of Martinsville highboy dresser from the Dania collection, designed by Merton Gershun, is built around the louvered drawer front that defines the line. Across the lower half of the case, each drawer is cut with overlapping angled slats that step forward in sequence, so the front reads as a series of shadow lines that shift as you move past it. The upper section changes register entirely, with a plain full width drawer above three smaller side by side drawers, and the case rides on tapered legs capped in brass and joined by a sculpted base rail with brass banding across the front.

The layout makes the height work rather than simply stacking storage. Three small upper drawers hold watches, wallets, and everyday items separately, the full width drawer above them takes shirts and folded pieces, and the deep louvered drawers below handle bulkier clothing. Brass swing pulls on the upper drawers give you something to actually grip, while the louvered drawers open from the slatted edge with no hardware at all, which is what keeps that lower run of the case visually uninterrupted.

This highboy dresser is in vintage as-pictured condition, showing wear consistent with age and use including surface wear, finish inconsistencies, and minor imperfections throughout. These characteristics contribute to the original vintage appeal and authenticity that many collectors appreciate. For those looking for a fully refinished example, we also offer a restored option. Restoration includes a complete professional refinishing process with sanding, staining, glazing, toning, and lacquering, along with functional adjustments to ensure all drawers operate smoothly and the dresser is ready for everyday use.
