Vintage New England Solid Walnut Chest of Drawers

Description
Solid walnut six-drawer chest with linear sculptural pulls designed and manufactured on custom order by Vermont Furniture Designs, circa early 1980s. The chest is mounted to two solid walnut block bases, and there are two solid walnut 'bars' (one in the front and one in the back) that directly support the frame and intersect with the legs for added support and decoration. The slab-leg construction gives the chest a 'floating' appearance, as there is sufficient open space between the two bases.
The construction, quality of materials, and master craftsmanship of this piece are akin to master woodworkers from the New Hope School (including Wharton Esherick and George Nakashima). An heirloom-quality piece designed and constructed to last.
Listed separately is the corresponding pair of nightstands.
