Mid-Century Dressers: Vintage Dressers from the 1950s to the 1970s

A Mid-Century dresser brings order and warmth to any room: clean lines, beautiful wood grain, and drawers that still glide smoothly decades later. At Hauptstadt Möblerei, you'll find a changing selection of teak dressers, drawer chests and linen chests from the 1950s to the 1970s, all original pieces restored in our Berlin workshop.

Dressers for every room

• Bedroom: wide linen chests with deep drawers, often matching nightstands from the same period.
• Hallway: narrow dressers for keys and mail, often with a mirror above.
• Living room: low dressers that work as small sideboards. Find larger pieces under Mid-Century Sideboards.

Mid-Century hallmarks

Teak, rosewood, and walnut, slim legs or a recessed plinth, recessed handles or wooden knobs. Danish design shaped the style, and German manufacturers built it in large numbers during the postwar economic boom. Find dressers from all periods under Dressers, and more furniture from the period under Mid-Century.

Restored in Berlin

We check drawer slides and joints, reglue as needed, clean and treat the surfaces, and replace missing handles.

Frequently asked questions about Mid-Century dressers

Do old drawers stick?

We check every drawer before a piece goes up in the shop. Wood-on-wood drawers glide more smoothly if you occasionally apply a little wax to the runners.

Does a Mid-Century dresser go with modern furniture?

Very well. The warm wood and simple shape pair well with light walls, modern sofas, and metal.

What's the difference between a dresser and a sideboard?

A dresser mainly has drawers and is usually taller, while a sideboard has doors and is longer and lower.

Do you buy furniture?

Yes. We buy vintage and antique furniture in good condition. Send us photos and a short description through our Furniture Buyingpage, and we'll get back to you with an offer.
