Heywood Wakefield Rio Birch Six Drawer Tallboy Chest
Description
A mid-century modern tallboy chest of six drawers from the Rio collection by Heywood Wakefield, circa 1940s-1950s. The piece is constructed with birch veneers over a secondary wood core. It features six full-width drawers arranged vertically, each fitted with a characteristic square, flush-mounted wooden pull handle with rounded internal corners. The drawers are constructed with machine-cut dovetail joints. The chest sits on a recessed plinth base and is finished in a warm honey-coloured stain, consistent with the manufacturer’s period finishes. No maker’s marks, labels, or stamps are visible on the exterior or the visible portions of the interior.
