Merton L. Gershun for Dillingham “Esprit” Walnut Highboy Chest

USA 6-drawer highboy chest designed by Merton Gershun for Dillingham as part of the “Esprit” collection, circa 1960s. Handsome piece in walnut with original ebony trim with carved and beveled pulls to either the top or bottom of each drawer to achieve a streamlined, clean appearance. The top hinged doors open to reveal three drawers retaining their original white paint, while the bottom three exposed drawers are walnut, adding a nice contrast.
Exquisite book-matched veneer present to top and sides (back is unfinished and bears two puncture holes).
Refinished condition, but a few light surface scuffs / spot of excess finish to the ledge below the doors.
Also available is the matching long chest.
