Basketweave gentleman's chests, pair


Brown Saltman
Hungary/USA, c. 1955
lacquered oak
53.25 h × 35 w × 18 d in (135 × 89 × 46 cm)

Chests each feature two doors concealing two or three sliding trays, all over three drawers. Decal manufacturer's label to interior of top drawer on each example 'Brown-Saltman California'.

This work will ship from Rago in Lambertville, New Jersey.

Wear throughout consistent with age and use. Later black lacquered surfaces show minor surface scratches, as well as separations within the door structure at hinges to each example. Some separations have resulted in chips and losses to structure, as well as some bending and lifting to hinges, leaving doors with an irregular or labored fit. One example is missing one sliding tray. Fair overall vintage condition.
