Broyhill Premier Facet Furniture


David over at A Modern Line recently came across and rehabbed a Broyhill Premier Facet dresser.


He couldn't find anything about Broyhill Facet furniture online, so he asked me if I knew anything about it, and he was kind enough to send along some pictures.



I'd never even heard of Broyhill Facet furniture before, but I really like the look of it.




My guess, based on the design and details, is that it was made sometime in the '60s. David mentioned the the glides on the drawers are steel, not wood, which further points that direction.



But other than that guess at a decade, I've got nothing. If you know anything about the Broyhill Facet collection, please leave a comment with what you know.

    I found some paperwork about the Facet line. Do you have an email I can send you the pictures I took of it? The date on it is June 1, 1967

      I would love to see that paperwork. The Facet line is still one of the least known Broyhill furniture lines. You can send any pictures to: MadForMidCentury@gmail.com

      Thank you so much.

      Thank you so much for the link. That's some great info. There's still a great deal unknown about this line. I'll keep looking for more info and post what I can find.
