★★★★★“Spend the extra to get it refurbished!”Dustin, Etsy review

This 1960s Tobago highboy dresser is a sculptural example of Canadian mid century modern design, built in walnut with a strong, architectural presence. The upper cabinet wears a pair of doors carved with elongated, leaf-like raised panels that run across the front in a rhythmic vertical pattern, catching light and shadow. The whole case is lifted on a dramatic splayed base of sculpted, pointed legs joined by a curved cross stretcher, giving the tall form an unexpected sense of lift and movement.

Behind the upper doors sits three drawers of enclosed storage, while the lower section holds two long, deep drawers with softly shaped fronts and recessed wooden pulls. The tall, narrow footprint makes the most of vertical space in a bedroom, and the sculptural base lets the piece read as a design object rather than an ordinary dresser. Warm walnut grain runs across the drawer fronts and case sides, tying the storage and the sculpted legs into one cohesive form.

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 and doors operate smoothly and the dresser is ready for everyday use.
