Wondering about a Yard Sale Find!!

[brandyetaylor]

I found a beautiful piece of furniture at a local yard sale yesterday. It is a dresser with a mirror.  I purchased it for $40 and was wondering if anyone could give me any information about it. It is in great condition, however the manufacturers label on the back is only half there.  You can see where it has been hand signed and the only part I can read on the label says "Fine Chamber Furniture". This is half of the manufacturers name I am assuming.  I have included a couple of pics of the dresser.  Thanks in advance for any info on it!

I am NOT a furniture expert, but by the size it appears in the photo it looks like a Mahogany vanity chest to me.

If it's light compared to other furniture of this size, it could be depression era Waterfall. 

I know there are furniture experts on here so maybe if you post a photo of the label and writing they'll be able to help you.

It's very pretty.

I agree, that looks to me to be the typical veneered "depression era" furniture and looks to be well worth the $40. If continued taken care of, it will outlast all the new "chipboard" furniture being sold now days.

Welcome brandyetaylor.  Here's an interesting article on furniture labels (assuming you're in the US).  Towards the bottom you'll see a question forum of sorts.  Fred Taylor, a furniture specialist, may be able to help you nail down your maker and date along with other info if you post your question there, based on your label.  I see he does make requests for writers to send him clear pictures so that he may help them identify their pieces.

I have a depression era waterfall dining room set that we were lucky to buy for $250 from some neighbors that were moving.   I love it so much.   It's fairly light to move but it has served us well for the last 6 years and then for years and years before that.   With minimal care - mostly dusting and an occasional good wood cleaner, it still looks like when we first bought it.
