1950s Pair Of Edward Wormley For Dunbar Model 5911 Gentleman’s Chests Original Finish

Chairish

$8,950

Don't miss these they don't come around often!! This elegant matching pair of Gentleman’s chests was designed by Edward Wormley for Dunbar, model 5911. A classic example of Wormley’s refined modernism, the design is distinguished by its clean architectural form, sculpted drawer fronts, and discreet integrated pulls—elements that underscore his emphasis on proportion, craftsmanship, and timeless utility. Each chest features three generously scaled drawers, offering versatile storage while maintaining a visually balanced façade. The contrasting wood tones—warm drawer fronts set within darker mahogany cases—add depth and sophistication, while the slender, brass capped legs lend an elevated, lightened profile consistent with high-quality American mid-century production. Importantly, this pair retains its original factory finish, showing only light, age-appropriate wear consistent with careful use. The preserved surface patina enhances authenticity and appeal for collectors seeking unaltered examples of Dunbar production. Ideal for use as nightstands, bachelor chests, or refined accent pieces, these chests represent a highly desirable and enduring design from one of the most influential figures in American modern furniture.
