The dresser features a classic, curved silhouette, giving it an elegant and timeless appearance.

Era: The overall design suggests it may have been crafted in the 19th century, common for this style.

Material: It appears to be made of dark wood, likely mahogany or walnut, which was popular for furniture during that era. The wood shows natural grain patterns that enhance its aesthetic appeal.

Drawers: The dresser has a combination of 2 small top drawers and four larger, curved drawers beneath.
The drawers have round metal handles, which may be original, and a keyhole with locking mechanism on the top two drawers.

Construction: Close-up images reveal traditional joinery techniques, such as dovetail joints, which indicate quality craftsmanship.

Legs and Feet: The legs are slightly tapered, ending in small casters, making it easier to move. This design feature is typical of the period, blending functionality with style.

Condition: There are signs of wear,
including scratches and minor damage on the lower edges, which add to the character of the piece but may also suggest the need for restoration. See less
