Description

It is a six drawer dresser made from Maple. We have been told it was taken off the top of a larger piece and a base was made for it. We believe it is late 1700's or early 1800's.

 

Anyone have any idea what it may be worth?

Without a lot of detailed images of the drawer construction, the base and back, it's a guess as to whether it's a hundred year repro or an 18th Century original.If you could put up some more images I'll give it another look.

Thanks for the extra images, it does look like the real deal, dates to the 18th Century. As old as it is, chest like this often sell for less tahn $1000.00 at auction:
