The Chinoiserie Highboy is one of Drexel's finest works. The Highboy has 11 drawers and a removable top section for moving purposes. It is also stamped with the Drexel maker's mark.
For over a century, Drexel (formerly known as the Drexel Furniture Company) has been producing high-quality, classic and traditional furniture for both homes and institutions. Established in 1903 in North Carolina, what was initially a modest furniture production operation developed into an immense manufacturing enterprise with almost a dozen factories across North and South Carolina. The brand’s reputation for both quality and craftsmanship has kept pace, which has been exemplified by its many prominent partnerships — ranging from luxury hotels to the United States Department of State. Through its American-made quality and emphasis on functionality and design, Drexel has established itself as one of the world’s leading procurers of exceptionally designed and manufactured furnishings.
