Appraiser Remarks
Thought your suite looks Victorian, it actually dates from the first quarter of the 20th Century.
Furniture made during this period tend to be a mix of Victorian styles such as Empire, Gothic, Rococo and Renaissance Revival making it appear far older than it really is. Furniture of this type was made by most furniture manufacturers until the early 1930's, the largest center being Grand Rapids Michigan, then the largest furniture production center in North America. Values for furniture like this peaked in the 1990's and has been in decline since then, a victim of changing decorating trends and downsizing by the Baby Boom generation. Today at auction a comparable pair of dressers at auction would sell at auction for less than $300.00. Your small table is not part of the set and would require a separate appraisal, the value below is for the pair of dressers.
