Antique-Style Western Dressers Made with Reclaimed Teak
Jason Scott Dressers
Jason Scott Dressers & Chests feature low dressers and taller chests for bedroom storage, distinguished by handcrafted forms, carved fronts and skirts, and multi-drawer or door-front configurations, primarily constructed from solid or reclaimed teak with grain-enhancing distressed finishes, antique-style metal hardware, and occasional hand-forged iron panels.
Each piece is perfected using a ten-step process, including wire brushing and kiln drying, resulting in a unique finish and distinguished pattern.
The highly durable and exotic wood ensures longevity, while hand-carved ornate detailing adds to the beauty of the dressers, making them artistic and extremely long-lasting. Jason Scott's journey began in 1995 in Java, and today, he continues his business from Phoenix, Arizona, creating unique western-style furniture that embodies timeless elegance and quality.

Best Uses — Jason Scott Dressers & Chests
Handcrafted in Indonesia from substantial teak, Jason Scott dressers and chests carry old-world cabinetmaking into Western interiors. Placed alongside Jason Scott beds, these enduring case pieces keep clothing and linens ordered while giving the bedroom the gravity of true handwork.
Commanding Primary Suites
Generous drawer configurations and substantial teak construction give expansive bedrooms an anchoring presence alongside other Western bedroom furniture.
An Entry Collected
A distressed reclaimed-teak chest with iron-clad doors brings functional storage and old-world weight to Western entryway furniture.
Against Clean Architecture
Sleek-lined forms and deeply carved facades create a measured counterpoint to contemporary interiors without surrendering the collection’s hand-worked identity.
Heirloom-Minded Homes
Durable teak, distressed finishes, and artisan carving suit households that expect furniture to gather history rather than follow a passing fashion.
Storage Takes Form
From compact bedside casework to broad multi-drawer designs, the collection turns practical organization into a visually consequential part of the room.
The Runyon's Difference
Deep-relief hand carving gives select teak fronts, skirts, and borders a dimensional quality uncommon among flatter-profile Western dressers. Sunburst, leaf, and foliage motifs catch light at changing angles, creating shadowed depth that moves across the facade.
Frequently Asked
Questions About Jason Scott Dressers & Chests
What are Jason Scott dressers and chests made from?
Teak is the foundation of the collection, with select designs featuring solid teak construction and others made from reclaimed stock. Its natural grain, carving capacity, and physical substance give the casework a grounded presence that feels built to remain.
Where does the collection’s artisan character come from?
Jason Scott works with a team of more than 200 craftsmen in Indonesia, and select pieces are expressly handcrafted by Balinese artisans using time-honored methods. On carved designs, hand-worked teak detailing produces surfaces with an unmistakably human cadence, particularly through sunburst, leaf, and foliage motifs.
How well does this collection support everyday storage?
The range extends from compact bedside forms to four-door chests and broad drawer configurations, including designs with as many as twelve drawers. That multi-drawer teak casework provides practical organization while preserving storage that reads like architecture; related formats can be found among Jason Scott chests and nightstands.
Can these pieces work in a contemporary interior?
Yes; the collection includes restrained, sleek-lined forms as well as heavily carved and distressed designs. One reclaimed-teak statement piece uses hand-forged iron panels, ornate hardware, and dark metal against golden wood to create a fortress-like silhouette with controlled contrast.
How should teak dressers and chests be cared for over time?
Dust teak surfaces with a soft, dry cloth, and use a lightly dampened cloth for occasional cleaning before drying the wood promptly. Keep standing moisture, harsh chemicals, and aggressive polish away from distressed areas so the grain’s weathered relief remains clearly articulated.
