This elegant pair of nightstands, designed by Merton Gershun for American of Martinsville as part of the Dania Collection in the 1960s, showcases the refined, architectural side of mid century modern design. The clean rectangular cases, gently tapered legs, and minimal brass pulls create a balanced, sophisticated profile that feels both sculptural and functional. The proportions are substantial without being heavy, making them well-suited for use as bedside tables or end tables in a living space.
The warm walnut tone and visible grain, as shown in the photos, highlight the quality of the materials and the crisp joinery typical of American of Martinsville’s higher-end production. Subtle decorative details, including the inlaid corner accents on the tops, add visual interest while maintaining the restrained, modern aesthetic that defines the Dania line.
These nightstands are offered in two options: vintage as pictured, showing original finish with age-appropriate wear and character, and vintage restored, in which the pieces will be professionally refinished by our team. The restoration process includes full sanding, color correction with stains and toners as needed, and sealing in a durable satin lacquer, resulting in a refreshed, cohesive appearance while preserving the original design and proportions, ready for decades of continued use.

Condition & Restoration
Condition & Restoration
We photograph each piece in its current condition and offer two ways to purchase: as-pictured or restored. This approach gives you a clear and honest view of the item and allows you to choose the level of finish that best suits your needs.
As-Pictured:
Choosing the as-pictured option means you’ll receive the item in its current state with light cleaning and basic touch-ups completed in our warehouse. We ensure that drawers, doors, and structural elements are functional, but no deep refinishing work is performed. This option is ideal for those who appreciate the charm and patina of original vintage finishes, want to avoid additional restoration costs, or prefer a quicker turnaround without the lead time required for refinishing. It's also a great choice if you’re a collector or designer looking to integrate the piece into a space with a lived-in aesthetic.
Restored:
Selecting the restored option includes our full professional refinishing process. Once selected, the piece is transported to our workshop, where we address surface damage like lacquer failure, chips, water marks, and deep scratches. Our team sands, stains, and seals each surface where appropriate, restoring the finish while preserving the character of the original design. We also carefully adjust doors, drawers, and hardware to ensure smooth operation and reliable function. The result is a fully restored vintage furniture piece, ready for daily use and built to last for decades to come.
This dual-option model gives you the flexibility to choose what’s right for your space, style, and timeline—without compromising on quality or transparency.
Note:
Some items may only be available for purchase with restoration included. In these cases, the original condition does not meet our standards for resale without a full professional refinish.
This ensures that every piece we ship—restored or otherwise—meets the level of quality and functionality we stand behind.
Conversely, certain items—such as lighting, upholstered pieces, or otherwise—are only offered as-pictured, as we typically don’t refinish these types of items.
