Edward J Wormley (1907 – 1995) was an American designer of modern furniture. His furniture represented a convergence of historical design and 20th century innovation that still has appeal among contemporary collectors. During the Depression, Wormley was introduced to the president of the Dunbar Furniture Company in Berne, Indiana, who hired him to upgrade their product line. His eye for quality and the exacting craftsmanship at Dunbar made for furniture that was elegant, understated and exceptionally well-made.

There are several small nicks and discolorations that have been photographed as well, please see all photos for further detail. Measures 36”H x 71”W x 18 1/2”D.
