According to research I did on a dresser I acquired, this appears to be an empire style chest of drawers.  It appears to be in fantastic shape and I would say was probably made in the 1700's or 1800's.  You might want to look up Thomas Day pieces that are very, very valuable.

According to what I read, Thomas Day did not sign his pieces.  I suppose you could find someone who is knowledgeable about antique furniture.  Good luck.

Your dresser is in the "Empire Revival" style.The orignal American Empire style had it peak period of popularity 1815-30 and the Revival pieces like this one at the turn of the 19th Century, 1895-1910. Demand for dressers in this style currently is very modest, it peaked back in the later 1980's and has declined since that time. Currently comparable pieces to yours now sell at auction for less than $250.00.
