Crafted from solid wood (likely cherry or mahogany), this dresser features a swelled front, scrolled bracket feet, and turned wooden knobs — all hallmarks of the Empire aesthetic.

The chest has four drawers — two smaller upper drawers and two deep lower drawers — providing ample storage with classic appeal. It stands sturdily on original casters, with a warm, aged patina that highlights the craftsmanship and authenticity of the piece.

There are light surface marks, age-appropriate wear, and minor finish imperfections consistent with its age, adding character and charm. Structurally solid and ready for continued use or restoration.

Perfect for use in a bedroom, entryway, or historic-style home, this antique offers timeless Americana beauty and practicality.
