Erno Fabry Mid Century Teak and Butternut Dresser with Brass Inlay, 1940
s
By Erno Fabry
Located in Bedford Hills, NY
This exceptional dresser is the work of Erno Fabry, a prominent modernist designer known for his early post-war contributions to American and European interiors. The piece features a sophisticated combination of teak drawer fronts framed in butternut wood, a signature material pairing for Fabry that creates a subtle, elegant tonal contrast.
A defining feature of this model is the delicate brass pinstripe inlay that borders the drawers, a detail often found in his designs influenced by Italian legend Gio Ponti. The dresser is supported by original, slender tapered brass legs and features circular brass pulls.
The "Western Zone of Germany" stamp (visible in your previous photo) is of particular historical interest. It dates the piece to the immediate post-WWII period (1945–1949) when Fabry, after serving in the U.S. Army, was active in establishing product lines for international export.
Professionally restored and French hand-polished by Master-craftsman Mark Mendelson, NY.
