Kent Coffey

Perspecta

c. 1958–1960s

American walnut case pieces with raised, sculpted drawer and door fronts in which rosewood panels form a repeating pointed-arch pattern, usually with slim metal bar pulls and splayed tapered legs. The 1964 brochure shows dressers, a chest on chest, chests, nightstands, a marble-topped round commode, a desk, a hostess desk and several headboards, all numbered in a 7900 series; matching dining pieces in the same brochure were made by Blowing Rock. Dealers date the line's introduction to the late 1950s, and the company now using the name calls it a 1962 design.^{[7][9][10][15][16][21]}
