(This dresser can be kept in original color or darkened. Please ask to see examples). Presenting an exquisite High Chest, a testament to the visionary design of Paul Frankl for Johnson Furniture, dating back to the late 1940s to early 1950s. The sought-after Johnson Furniture hallmark is artfully inscribed within, while a John Stuart Inc. sticker proudly graces the surface just above the Johnson Hallmark.

This high chest is a study in deceptive minimalism, showcasing seven impeccably proportioned drawers that gracefully extend over a sturdy base. The drawers create a dynamic visual rhythm with alternating heights, each adorned with a pair of Frankl's iconic brass X-pulls. Crafted from solid wood, this piece boasts unwavering durability. Its clean lines and timeless form make it a versatile addition to interiors ranging from Classic Mid-Century Modern to contemporary, ensuring it stands out as a distinctive and valuable asset.

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.
