Seller's Notes:A beautifully preserved example of the iconic Drexel Declaration eight-drawer lowboy dresser, designed by Kipp Stewart and Stewart MacDougall circa 1959 — one of the most actively collected American mid-century modern furniture lines. The Declaration collection, constructed entirely in natural American black walnut with white porcelain or brass drawer pulls, is recognized as one of the defining achievements of American MCM case goods design. This piece presents the classic Declaration layout: four smaller upper drawers and four deeper lower drawers across two symmetrical banks, all in richly figured walnut with clean, precise joinery and the gently tapered round legs that give the line its characteristic floating quality. The original white porcelain ball knobs are present and intact — the more visually striking of the two hardware options Drexel offered, providing beautiful contrast against the warm walnut. Kipp Stewart — who collaborated with Charles and Ray Eames before designing the Declaration line for Drexel — brought serious design intelligence to every element of this collection. The result is furniture that has only grown in desirability over the decades. Check the inside of the top drawer for the Declaration by Drexel maker's stamp. Versatile enough for use as a dresser, credenza, sideboard, or media console. One of the most sought-after pieces in American MCM furniture. Strong collector and designer demand across all platforms. A genuinely significant and beautiful piece of American mid-century design. Dimensions: 60w 20d 31.5h Condition: age appropriate wear, vintage finish worn, scuffs/scratches, edge wear, discoloration, interior marks, see photos.
