Dan Johnson for Hayden Hall Maple Chest of Drawers, 1946–47

A rare 1946–1947 mid-century modern three-drawer chest or dresser in maple by Dan Johnson for Hayden Hall.

Three drawers with extra-thick edges that complement the top, side elements of the inset middle drawer, and recessed front portion of the base. Finished in beautifully figured maple veneer throughout.
