This Authentic 3-drawer Dorthy Draper Chest the crème de la crème - the most iconic of Hollywood Regency glam - is Dorothy Draper's España bunching chest. It is her most popular and sought-after piece. This style was designed in 1955 at the behest of the Spanish government to elevate the profile of Spanish-style design. There were only a little over 3000 of these chests produced and very few originals are in existence today.

If you were looking for a set, or a pair of these there is a second one available, however, it is not an authentic Dorothy Draper. Please message me for more information.

It is nearly flawlessly lacquerd in the color Tricorn Black by Sherwin-Williams, solid brass ring pulls, each drawer is hand painted with gold gilding exactly as the original design was right off the showroom floor circa 1955. It features the original Heritage Stamp in the top drawer, the original floating jewelry/sock drawer, a framed front, numbered drawers, and is serial numbered underneath on the very bottom. The back is also finished so that this piece could "float" in the middle of any space.

"Dorothy Draper was born to a wealthy and privileged family in 1889, in one of the most exclusive communities in American history, Tuxedo Park. She was the first to “professionalize” the interior design industry by establishing, in 1923, the first interior design company in the United States, Dorothy Draper & Company. She was deemed the most influential American interior decorator of the past century. Her most classic designs were finished in black.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is vintage furniture suitable for me?

I firmly believe that vintage furniture isn't suitable for everyone. There are trade-offs and compromises with every significant decision, and choosing vintage is no exception. Your vintage piece will come with noticeable minor imperfections.

Vintage furniture is the opposite of perfect. It's not a fit for everyone. If you're seeking well-crafted furniture that has endured over time, furniture with charm, character, unique lines, and beautiful hardware, and furniture that can be customized to complement your decor, then we are your ideal source. Vintage furniture is also significantly more affordable than newly made pieces. In addition, you can customize your color, sheen, hardware choices and really make unique for just your space.

Do you repair all the small damages and flaws in the piece?

We address most imperfections in the piece, though achieving absolute perfection in a vintage-refinished item isn't feasible.

No finish is ever truly perfect, however, what flaws that may be in the piece will be nearly imperceptible to the eye, my pieces come to you better than they were sold by the original manufacturer, that I can guarantee.

What are your care instructions?

Use a lint-free, soft cloth such as microfiber for general dusting. Avoid harsh chemicals and refrain from dragging objects across the surface during cleaning. Wizards mist and shine is the product I recommend for every day cleaning and polishing. For heavier clean-ups, just a little soapy water (dawn dishwashing liquid) will do the trick. Then Wipe dry, NEVER leave standing water on your piece. 

Also, I highly recommend getting your local glass purveyor to custom cut a piece of glass for your lacquered surfaces, especially if they will be high use surfaces such as dressers and end tables.  It's usually relatively inexpensive and will protect your beautifully lacquered/finished surfaces. 

Every piece that is shipped out includes a detailed aftercare instruction sheet along with touch-up paint if you ever need it, felt furniture pads, and a microfiber cloth to get you started.
