Re: Paine Dresser
This piece wss designed to resemble mid 18th Century English furniture after designs by Thomas Chippendale. Most furniture like this dates from the second quarter of the 20th Century and was mass produced all over North America, so values for it at the moment tend to be rather modest. At auction right now comparable dressers often sell for about $200.00.
