About the Item

This striking 1980s Postmodern dresser has been fully refinished in a custom cerused pink finish with contrasting white grain, giving the oak an architectural texture that feels both playful and sophisticated. The sculptural drawer fronts defined by rhythmic horizontal bands recall the bold geometry and clean-lined luxury associated with Jay Spectre for Century Furniture, though the design varies slightly from documented examples; thus we describe this piece as in the style of Spectre. *NOTE - we have the matching mirror also available which can connect via hardware to the back of the dresser or can be wall mounted. Contact us for more details. With its stepped façade, integrated pulls, and statement-making silhouette, this chest embodies the expressive materiality and glamorous understatement of late-20th-century American design. The newly applied cerused pink finish highlights the grain in a way that feels simultaneously fashion-forward and timeless, making this an ideal piece for collectors, designers, and anyone seeking a refined pop of color. Versatile in placement and scale, this dresser works beautifully in a Modern, Postmodern, Contemporary, Memphis-adjacent, Hollywood Regency, Minimalist, or Transitional interior. Consider it for a bedroom, dressing room, entry console, living room storage piece, boutique hotel suite, photography set, or luxury retail space. Its playful palette pairs effortlessly with lacquer, chrome, glass, travertine, or sculptural lighting. MEASUREMENTS: H 30.25" x W 66" x D 17.5" CONDITION: Newly cerused and refinished. Some age is apparent in areas such as the back (the back is unfinished), the inside of the drawers were left original, and some minor details which can be seen in the photos including one spot where there looks to be a small drill hole in the frame located above / behind one of the drawers. Common with vintage dressers, the drawers do drop a little when pulled out. Some resistance to drawers when sliding in and out. Some drawers do not fully sit close (small gap when closed). Some prior age and wear to areas behind the drawers, some can be seen in the photos. Overall attractive and ready for immediate use.
