Vintage Burl Wood Credenza by Arthur Umanoff for Dillingham

Striking mid-century modern burl wood credenza designed by Arthur Umanoff for Dillingham in the United States, circa 1970s. Known for his sophisticated yet approachable approach to modern furniture design, Umanoff created pieces that emphasized rich materials, balanced proportions, and timeless styling. This credenza is an excellent example of the designer’s ability to transform natural wood grain into the focal point of a room.

Crafted in beautifully figured burl wood, the case displays an impressive array of swirling patterns, eye-catching knots, and warm honey tones that flow continuously across the entire facade. The three doors align seamlessly, creating a visually cohesive grain pattern that immediately draws attention and highlights the quality of craftsmanship throughout the piece.

The interior offers generous storage with shelving and two pull-out drawers, making it as functional as it is visually impressive. Its clean silhouette is grounded by a contrasting black lacquer base, adding depth and a refined modern touch that pairs effortlessly with both vintage and contemporary interiors.

Well preserved over the years, this credenza retains the originality and charm collectors look for in authentic mid-century pieces. The combination of rare burl wood grain, understated design, and Umanoff’s lasting influence makes this an exceptional addition to any home.
