Vintage Mid Century Modern Dresser by Bassett Aztec Collection by Leo Jiranek With Solid Wood Block and Brass Finished Handles
The Bassett Aztec dresser, designed by Leo Jiranek and produced from April 1963 to March 1967, is a standout piece from the Mid-Century Modern era with several unique features
The dresser features intricately carved wooden handles and metal knobs inspired by Aztec motifs, reflecting the 1950s and 60s fascination with archaeological and exotic designs.
Despite its âAztecâ name, the dresser is finished in a rich âMayan walnutâ tone, which often leads to confusion with the Mayan collection. This deep, warm finish enhances the walnut grain, giving it a luxurious and distinctive look.
This five drawer dresser is built with solid wood and veneer, the dresser features dovetail joinery for durability and smooth drawer operation, showcasing Bassettâs high-quality craftsmanship.
This dresserâs limited production run and its blend of cultural influences with modern functionality make it a rare and sought-after item, often misidentified as part of the Mayan line due to the shared finish name
