White Credenza Appraisal

Mid-Century Modern White Dresser/Credenza

This is a vintage dresser or credenza, likely from the mid-20th century, possibly the 1950s or 1960s, given its style. The piece is finished in a uniform white or off-white paint, which may be an original factory finish or a later refinishing. It features a long, rectangular top surface, suitable for display or additional storage. The physical characteristics indicate a relatively wide and low profile, typical of a dresser. The construction appears to be wood or a wood composite. The dresser features a symmetrical drawer configuration. The top row has three drawers: a wide central drawer with two knobs, flanked by two smaller drawers, each with a single knob. The bottom row presents a more complex arrangement of six drawers. The outer two drawers on this row are unique; they have a curved, convex front, adding a distinctive design element. These curved drawers are fitted with elongated, gold-toned, abstract, or organic-shaped pull handles, which are a notable feature and strongly suggest a mid-century modern aesthetic. The four central drawers on the bottom row appear flat-fronted, with the two innermost having single knobs and the two slightly outward ones possibly having concealed pulls or similar gold-toned handles, though it's less clear from the image. The piece sits on four short, gold-toned spherical or ball-shaped feet, which further contribute to its vintage appeal. Visible condition issues include minor signs of wear consistent with age and use, such as small scuffs or chips in the paint, particularly along edges or near the base, though no significant damage like cracks or structural issues are evident. The paint finish appears generally clean and consistent. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided image. The quality of craftsmanship seems good, with flush-fitting drawers and a sturdy appearance. The combination of the white finish, the curved drawer fronts, and the distinctive gold hardware makes this a characterful piece of furniture.
