Re: Dresser

The design of this chest suggests that it is from the 1920's or 1930's. Most had a much darker finish, so I wonder if it has been refinished. This particular style in the original finish hasn't been sought after much in my area (the southeast). Tthese pieces are often used for faux painting or antiquing. I've done several and was successful selling them, but the popularity of faux finishes on vintage furniture is fleeting and probably regional. I think you paid a fair price for it and should get your money back when you sell it.

p.s After a second look, it appears that the drawer fronts have a faux wood grain on them. I can't see the detail on the rest of the chest, but it's possible that it's birdseye maple. If so, it would be worth somewhat more. It's just too difficult to tell without seeing the finish.
