Antique Dresser Identification
« on: October 09, 2009, 05:34:49 am »
We have an antique dresser that was handed down in the family.  Can anyone identify this dresser?  It appears to be walnut wood.  There is a very interesting cut into the wood around the drawer slots.

It's circa 1875 or so, Renaissance Revival. The pics are kind of small but it looks like walnut veneer. I'm going to guess that the drawer pulls aren't the original ones since they're Hepplewhite style. These pieces usually have the ebonized teardrop handles. Also, this piece most likely had a large mirror and ornate frieze originally. Hope this helps. :)
