I haven't uncovered the origin of this set. It is certainly American made, likely in the early '70s. The polished aluminum and chrome accents give it a look similar to something from Milo Baughman or a more subtle Paul Evans piece. The walnut patchwork on the doors and mirrors also echos details from these designers. The walnut used in these is very nicely figured and a deep, warm brown color.
The low dresser has 6 large exposed drawers with unique chrome looped pulls and another 3 drawers behind the patchwork drawers. The armoire has 2 very large drawers on the bottom with matching pulls and another 2 wide drawers behind the large doors. Above those is open shelving for bulky items such as jeans and sweaters. The combination of the 2 pieces offers a great deal of flexible storage not often seen in mid century pieces. The set also includes 2 mirrors with matching polished trim and walnut patchwork accents. It would be a great set for fans of Baughman designs or someone that prefers a more swanky, Hollywood Regency style of modern.
