Description: This Mid-Century Modern walnut highboy dresser by John Keal for Brown Saltman exemplifies the refined simplicity and craftsmanship associated with California’s West Coast modernism of the 1960s. Expertly refinished, the dresser showcases beautifully matched walnut veneers with deep, expressive grain patterns that highlight the warmth and character of old-growth wood. The clean-lined drawer fronts and subtle framing details create a quiet architectural rhythm, allowing the natural material to remain the focal point. Resting on gently tapered legs, the piece maintains a light, balanced presence despite its generous storage capacity. Both functional and sculptural, this highboy reflects a design philosophy rooted in ease, optimism, and a seamless connection between form and material.
Fun Historical Fact Brown Saltman was a cornerstone of Southern California’s postwar furniture movement, producing designs that embodied the relaxed yet forward-thinking lifestyle of the West Coast. John Keal’s work for the company often emphasized clarity of form, honest materials, and practicality—values closely aligned with California modernist architecture. During this era, many manufacturers relied on slow-grown, old-growth walnut, prized for its density and dramatic grain, qualities rarely found in modern lumber today. These materials helped define the enduring beauty and longevity of mid-century American furniture.
