Really puzzled. I bought an apartment worth of furniture and these two pieces were in it. Most of the other stuff I have identified as Florence Knoll tables, dressers and George Nelson benches and headboard, as well as an early Bertoia bench. however, these two pieces are puzzling me. There were two dressers that matched it that were in the room with the early Nelson headboard which has tilting headrests. Does anyone have any idea on these?
One clue is that the handles push in like a trap door. They are a wood 'flap'. Thank you in advance.

Given
what you have cited, I would not be surprised if they were Abel Sorensen pieces. Very nice.

Not Herman Miller or Knoll
But very likely Pastoe.

Sorry
I meant Pascoe. The company was actually Artek-Pascoe, but many case pieces were marked simply Pascoe. I assume that means it was designed by Clifford Pascoe rather than Aalto.
I'm looking at Design Addict on my phone sitting in a restaurant. We got whacked with two huge storms, one caused a tree to fall on our house and we've been without power all week.

Wow. Quick thanks!
Yes, definitely Pascoe. Thank you all so much. I have a couple of dressers as well, and I found exact matches on Rago. I appreciate the community help.
I would still LOVE to see the catalog images if you can get to them!

Legs are very reminesant of
designs by Cor Alons. His furniture was also almost
always executed in blonde woods.

Sorry Foxxy-no copyright info on the catalog. I have two others "tables and desks" and "seating" (same as ones below) but none have year of production
