Dressers of this type are in what's called the "Colonial Revival" style. ColonialRevival pieces are reproductions of the original American Colonial furniture originally produced from 1620-1780 based Jacobean, William & Mary and Queen Anne styles
This style became popular after the first Centennial of the American Revolution in 1876. At that time interest and demand for original Colonial & Federal furnishings was so great it outstripped supply.This caused large manufacturers to begin production of pieces in the Colonial styles
The style reached it's peak of popularity during the mid 1920's, but pieces of this type remained in production through the early 1940's. Values for them are generally under $200.00 at auction.
