Sklar Peppler · Furniture > Bedroom Furniture
Era / Decade
1970s-1980s (The gold plaque logo and font style are characteristic of the later Sklar-Peppler merger era).
Material
Likely wood veneer over solid wood or composite; interior drawer boxes appear to be solid wood with dovetail or glued joinery. Finished in a medium walnut or teak-tone stain.
Condition
Very Good (visible interior). The drawer interior is clean with no significant staining, though there are minor scuffs on the top edges and a small dark speck in the corner. The gold branding plaque is perfectly preserved.

Strong. Sklar Peppler is a respected name in vintage furniture, and there is a high current market demand for 'Brown Furniture' with MCM silhouettes.
