"Paramount Furniture Co." Credenza


par-a-mount:  adj., superior to all others.  With a name like "Paramount" much is expected.  This exceptional piece is worthy of the name.  In terms of design, quality and condition, this credenza is up there amongst the finest pieces we have had in the shop.  The wood is a rich, ribbon stripe mahogany with a warm patina and beautiful graining.  It has four drawers with unique, streamlined modern, patinated brass pulls.  The top drawer is divided and felt lined.  Two sliding glass doors open to a compartment with one shelf.  It's a show stopper.  56" l., 20" w., 32 1/2" h.  American, c. 1940 SOLD
