Merton Gershun - American Of Martinsville - Mid Century Modern Dresser

Merton Gershun for American of Martinsville is a prominent U.S. mid-century furniture maker known for high-quality classic walnut pieces. This brand competes with Drexel & Henredon if you are looking for that extra gravitas. This Mid-century modern lowboy dresser from the 1960s with signature brass X-shaped inlays on the drawer fronts is a hallmark of the Accord collection. The offset brass pulls/knobs, tapered metal legs, and solid walnut construction come together artistically for a balanced elegant look. The dimensions are 60¼" wide × 31½" high × 18" deep—making it a substantial, statement-making bedroom piece. I included some before and after photos at the end of the gallery. It took me a while to restore this project back to life between the sourcing, driving, cleaning, sanding, and multiple coats applied. I did 3 rounds of brasso to give new life to the original patina in the hardware x inlays and kept it original to bring out the uniqueness of it and to appeal to a collector since it’s a collectors item. Can be made to look brand new with Rub n Buff’ but I opted out to keep it origional. Coated with Minwax dark walnut stain. Some minor imperfections but adds vintage charm.
