American of Martinsville "Dania" Tall Walnut Dresser

This professionally restored tall dresser, from American of Martinsville's "Dania" line, was designed by Merton Gershun. It features three lower drawers with louvered fronts, three square drawers directly above, and a hidden top drawer. Walnut veneer and solid wood construction underneath. The original brass handles and stretcher make this piece stand out in any room.

This piece has been professionally restored, but like all vintage pieces, does show signs of wear due to prior use.
