Mid-Century Modern “Profile” Highboy Dresser by John Van Koert for Drexel, c.1950’s

Product Details

Designed by John Van Koert for Drexel’s celebrated “Profile” collection, this Mid-Century Modern highboy dresser dates to the 1950s and exudes refined American craftsmanship. Constructed from rich walnut, the piece features a sophisticated silhouette with gentle curves and signature sculpted legs. Polished steel handles add a sleek, modern contrast against the warm wood grain, enhancing its elegant yet understated presence. Offering a practical combination of six drawers with deep storage capacity, the dresser has been expertly refinished to restore its original beauty. A true classic of mid-century design, this piece captures the optimism and innovation of postwar American style.

Fun Historical Fact: John Van Koert wasn’t just a furniture designer—he was also a trained silversmith. Before collaborating with Drexel, he designed silverware for Towle Silversmiths, which explains the elegant, jewelry-like hardware found on the “Profile” collection. His ability to blend sculptural form with everyday function helped shape the sophisticated look of 1950s American design.
