Fun Historical Fact Coleman of Virginia was part of the important furniture-making tradition centered around Martinsville and the surrounding Virginia region, one of the major hubs of American furniture production during the 20th century. During the 1950s and 1960s, manufacturers in this area increasingly embraced modernist design as American tastes shifted toward cleaner lines, lighter profiles, and integrated storage, as in a high boy dresser. Details such as recessed wooden pulls, tapered legs, and expansive walnut surfaces, as on this mcm walnut dresser, became hallmarks of the period and allowed furniture makers to create contemporary designs without sacrificing craftsmanship or practicality. Today, surviving Coleman of Virginia pieces, such as a mid century modern walnut dresser, offer an excellent example of the sophisticated American interpretation of Mid-Century Modern design.
