Pair of Dillingham Walnut Nightstands

This pair of walnut nightstands/end tables are from the same line as the credenza I posted last month.  The line these come from is often attributed to Milo Baughman.  The more I research the background of these, the more skeptical I become of this attribution.  I can't find any reference to the name of the line or evidence that Baughman designed these (1st Dibs attributions don't count as evidence).  They have similarities to the Esprit line by Dillingham, which is often attributed to Baughman as well.  I have also seen Esprit attributed to Marty Borenstein.  Frankly, I'm not sure that either is correct.

Regardless of the designer, these are very nicely made pieces with classic straight modernist lines.  The veneers are beautifully colored and figured and the doors are bookmatched.  The outsides have just been refinished to show off the quality of the walnut used.  Inside there is open storage with one fixed shelf.  The design of these lends itself to many uses beyond the intended bedside nightstand.  They could be used as living room end tables or even pushed together to make a small low credenza or tv stand.

Dimensions: 27" W x 23"H x 15.5"D
