The Drexel Sun Coast line of mid-century furniture is a gorgeous on whole, but the true standouts of the line for me are those that feature the gold star burst design on white aluminum doors.
The cabinet doors on the Drexel Sun Coast credenza and china cabinet came in two options: wood that matched the rest of the piece or these white doors with a gold painted star design.
The buffet also features the star burst, but on glass, not white doors.
Drexel Sun Coast furniture was designed by Kipp Steward and came out in 1958 or 1959. The rest of the line, which includes a full bedroom and dining room set, can be identified by the square handles and square brass legs. But for my money, it's all about the star burst.
Absolutely great looking line...The starbursts definetely punch up what is already beautiful...
ReplyDeleteI know; I haven't seen this bold a line in a while.
DeleteI've never seen this line. I love the starbursts on the glass.
ReplyDeleteI saw if for the first time just a few days ago. It's definitely a line that deserves more attention. Even if the star bursts aren't your thing, the all wood version of the line is gorgeous.
DeleteHi
ReplyDeleteDid you ever restore the doors? I have the same two pieces and the doors are in bad shape and need to be repainted. Any suggestions
I don't; that's far beyond my skill set. If you have any local vintage stores, I'd start by asking the folks there. They might be able to point you in the right direction. If not, maybe start with local painters.
