Description

This lacquered walnut dresser comes from the Oceanic series produced by Pulaski Furniture in the late 1960s and appearing, notably, in the television series Mad Men. The tall case rests on a curved plinth. To the right are five drawers with large formica bas-relief pulls; to the left a door, with an exuberant sculptural front designed to suggest Pacific Island cultures, opens onto three deep drawers at bottom and divided shelves at top.

We also have a headboard and a low dresser (with a corresponding mirror, sold separately) from Pulaski's Oceanic series.
