Pair of George Nelson for Herman Miller 5-Drawer Chests Primavera Basic Series

Creator: George Nelson
Offered by: Vintage Looks

Description
Rare pair of cabinets or chests made by Herman Miller in the early 1950s and designed by American design icon George Nelson. Each cabinet features primavera construction, a form of bleached mahogany that takes on the color of golden maple but provides an interesting and smooth grain pattern. Great design adds to the appeal, with an inward beveled edge, even on all four sides. Large drawers add to the functionality, and the cupcake style drawer pulls are unique and add the perfect amount of warmth to the design with their domed look. One cabinet features a door on the right side, while the other features 5 full-width drawers. Set on black wood bases. Signed with foil labels on the drawers, dating these pieces to 1951-1956. Also signed with an aluminum coin style logo in a drawer.

In good condition. Wear throughout. If you desire, we can refinish these to get them looking new again. Let us know what you'd like to see, and our team can make it happen. We have restored many important and unique pieces. Ask us about our work or check out our storefront!

At this time, we also have a pair of the 5-drawer model. Similar condition, from the same estate.
