Description
Exceptional 1962 Broyhill Premier Brasilia Gentleman’s Chest in remarkably well-preserved original condition. PHOTO DISCLOSURE: The primary staged photo is AI-assisted to show this piece in an appropriate interior setting, as its current garage storage setting simply doesn't do it justice. All other photos are actual, unaltered photographs of the piece being sold and should be used to evaluate its condition, finish, hardware and details. This is an authentic early example from Broyhill’s iconic Brasilia collection, one of the most recognizable and sought-after American Mid-Century Modern furniture designs of the 1960s. The dramatic sculpted walnut doors, architectural arches and distinctive original hardware give this piece the unmistakable Brasilia look. Delivery within the greater Seattle area is included. This piece is in incredible condition for its age and retains its beautiful original vintage finish. We intentionally took a preservation-first approach when cleaning it. It was gently cleaned using only mild soapy water. It has not been stripped, sanded, refinished or treated with aggressive restoration products. Our goal was simply to clean the piece while keeping its original finish intact. - Original sculpted Brasilia doors - Original handles and hardware - All handles present and intact - All doors present and functioning properly - All drawers present and functioning properly - Hinges intact and functioning as expected - Interior drawers and shelving intact Structurally solid - Beautiful walnut grain and color Only minor age-appropriate wear - A few very small scuffs may be visible upon close inspection, but nothing major For a piece manufactured more than 60 years ago, it presents exceptionally well. Documented 1962 Production The original factory markings remain underneath the cabinet, including the Broyhill Premier branding and an “Inspection Completed 1962” factory marking. Photographs of these original markings are included in the listing. About Broyhill Brasilia Introduced in the early 1960s, Broyhill's Brasilia collection was inspired by the dramatic modernist architecture of Brasília, Brazil. Its sweeping arches and sculptural forms have made Brasilia one of the most recognizable and collectible American furniture collections of the Mid-Century Modern era. The Gentleman’s Chest is an especially impressive example, combining the dramatic sculptural Brasilia façade with substantial practical storage. Dimensions 44" W × 19" D × 50" H Behind the sculpted upper doors are multiple drawers and shelving, with two additional full-width drawers below.
