Heywood Wakefield "Plaza" Wheat Highboy Dresser



Here is a 1940 Heywood Wakefield "Plaza" five drawer wheat highboy dresser in absolutely amazing condition. The original owners opted for the protective glass top, and as you can see from the photos, the top of this dresser is in pretty much perfect condition. This dresser also spent it's entire life under the same roof, which is another reason it's in such amazing condition. The less you move your furniture the less chance you have to bang it up. The Plaza series was designed Leo Jiranek, know as the Dean of Furniture Design, and is made of solid birch wood. This highboy is super solid, has tons of space inside and is a beautiful example of early mid century modern design. 

HW reference #C3732

Heywood Wakefield "Plaza" Wheat Dresser


 Starting in the mid 1930's Heywood Wakefield branched out from building tradition style furniture and began building in the "modern" style. Here we have a beautiful early modern piece from one of the most iconic names in mid century design, designed by one of the most prolific designers. The Heywood Wakefield plaza series was designed by Leo Jiranek, who is known as "The Dean of Furniture Design".This dresser is in absolutely amazing condition, especially considering it was built in 1940. I found this piece (and a few others) in an old house in which this dresser lived since the day it was purchased. The original owners opted for the glass top, and as you can see by the photos, it has kept the top in near perfect condition. Solid wood, good looks and tons of storage.

Danish Modern Kitchen Table


A handful of kitchen tables have come through my shop, this guy here is my absolute favorite! This rock solid Danish modern table comes with two additional leafs transforming it from a table for four to a table for eight. With all the leafs in, this table is just a smidge under 7 feet long. I am not positive what the actual wood used on this table is, it appears to be teak but could also be oak. The leaf that is a darker color is walnut, it was purchased by the original owners to accommodate for their growing family. I love the beautiful simple lines on this table as well as its versatility. Perfect table for entertaining. 

 Will deliver to North Side and Downtown residents for a small fee.
