Antique Bedroom Dressers and small table

By Suekloo, 21 July, 2014
Description

No maker marks anywhere.  Mirror is NOT original and should not be considered in value. Dressers were found in our first home's attic 25 years ago.  Best info I found on them is from a woman in Texas who saw a post I made in an antique page.  She said she had the same set along with the bed that her great grandparents purchased in 1880 and they traveled via two covered wagons to Minnesota.  THe set has been handed down to the eldest daughter ever since and now she has it.  She said its rare to find them in good condition because the tiger eye maple veneer on the front is usually all chipped up and/or fallen off.  The pictures surprised me as I can see more little nicks and wear I don't see with the nake eye.  I thought the only bad part was on the top of the short dreser where is crackled but there is a glass stain I see in the picture I had not noticed before.  The crackle has been just like that for the past 25 years.

The small table is a table that has been in my family for some time.  I have no idea about it,  just threw it in here for a guess.  But the dressers are more important as I have an interested buyer and I have not idea what to sell them for!

 

Thank you so much in advance!
