Notes on Value Factors:

  • Sets in excellent condition with original hardware and mirror command higher prices.
  • Wear to veneer or missing pulls will decrease value.
  • Provenance (e.g., if it’s marked by a known maker) can increase collectibility.

🔍 Authentication Tips

  • Check inside the top drawers or on the back panels for stamped or burned-in maker marks.
  • If marked Bassett, White Furniture, or Kent Coffey, this could boost the confirmed resale value.
  • The style and craftsmanship align with pieces made in North Carolina or Virginia during the American furniture boom of the 20th century.
