Quartersawn Oak Bow Front Low Boy Dresser

By wellnessyoga, 20 December, 2011
Description

 we just stripped and refinished a now very pretty looking 2 drawer low boy oak veneer dresser. 

The 2 drawers have a bow front that shows the beautiful grain pattern of the quartersawn tiger stripe oak. Or is it perhaps curly oak? It is constructed with dovetail joints. There are 2 nice brass keyholes, the key is missing. There are several stress marks on the top, not distracting at all, and a slightly darker are that we could almost but not completely hide as there was  a water mark. Again, it is really not distracting from the overall beauty. The original handles had been replaced with new ones, we will have to find better ones, these will have to do for now. 

Would like to find out approximate age, and an estimate for market value. Also, any other informnation about the dresser would be appreciated. Thank you!
