Long Description

We came across this dresser when cleaning out my father in law's house. A quick google search led me to believe it may possibly be a more valuable piece than we originally thought. I would be appreciative of any additional information. Thank you.

This is an English Empire…

This is an English Empire Revival style piece. CWS is short form for the Co-operative Wholesale Society, which began cabinet making in 1893. The Birmingham factories, which opened in the 1920s, were equipped with large, well-fitted workshops. They produced for the regional supply of furnishing needs. The Cabinet Factory, Hay Mills and the Bedstead Factory, Belmont Row were also used for the production of pianos. The C.W.S encouraged piano buying, with good pianos at moderate prices. The work was transferred to Belmont Row from the Cabinet Factory and then returned after the reorganisation of the factories in 1932.

The style this piece is in is not currently, comparable pieces often sell at auction for under $150.00.
