Description
It has been sanded down and polyurethaned by me - when I received it someone had sloppily painted the entire surface faint red.
The dresser and Vanity both came with a large heavy circular mirror (which is still in excellent condition)
I believe they are made from pine because they dent easily, but the surface has a dark wood veneer inlaid with burl wood veneer. It looks to be art deco based on the drawer pulls and the rounded side corners.
The dresser has 3 large dovetailed drawers
The vanity seems short (maybe for a child). down each side are a drawer and a cabinet.
I'm mostly curious about the history of these items (where is it from, when was it made, etc)
Re: Dresser and Vanity with Mirrors
It's part of a 1930's Art Deco suite, which originally included a bed and side tables. They were mass produced items made in varying quality, most are birch, maple or gumwood with figured veneers. Unless the suite carries a label of a big name designer or well known company, values are still modest, about $200.00 for each piece.
