*Better Photos to Coming Soon*
A definitive Mid-Century Modern icon, this George Nelson Thin Edge dresser for Herman Miller showcases the line’s celebrated knife-thin case profile in beautifully figured walnut. Ten smooth-gliding drawers provide generous storage behind a perfectly balanced facade, accented by solid aluminum pulls and perched on original aluminum cone legs for a light, elevated stance. The piece is Herman Miller labeled and dates to the 1950s.
Prefer the classic look with white hardware? At the client’s request, we can swap the aluminum knobs for white “apple-core” pulls—a period-correct Nelson detail—prior to delivery.
