Metal bureau

Thank you so much !

 

I've been...out of step ...all day !!

 

Maybe @James Conrad is around?

 

Yeah, wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy out of my field of knowledge/interest but the industrial look is hot or was (steampunk), dunno about these days though.

 

Thanks so much. We know almost nothing. But I love anything shiny

 

Brad's online right now. Let's try this again.

@verybrad You are needed on this thread!

 

Well, he was out like a flash, so I decided to find you a link to his commentary on another Simmons dresser either the same as, or at least similar to yours. Note that he also attached a link to another thread on which he says there is the most info.

Interesting reading @Bakersgma link, it seems the metal industrial look has cooled off a bit.

 

My son was recently reading book about BelGeddes that he borrowed from a "little free library" he passed while walking the dog. He mentioned it at dinner and we had quite a lively conversation about him and his Simmons connection. I think he was impressed (he's an architect.) Unfortunately the copy was an "advance reader's" version that did not contain the illustration section.

 

Sorry I missed this from before. Does look like a Simmons. Would think there should be a label inside the top drawer, left side. Possible that there is not, given the info on the back. This also could relate more to a contract than a manufacturing label, as so many of these filled large commercial orders.

Can't add much more than what was previously provided in those other threads. Values are down except in large cities..... particularly Chicago where these were made. It has most value stripped to bare metal and clear-coated so you are on the right track.

 

Thanks, Brad!!

 

Thank you Brad and everyone else that responded. I appreciate all of your help !

 

WELCOME Alice !!!! ... Joy.
