A truly one-of-a-kind antique dresser that came from our family's 104-year-old shore house. This piece embodies the character and charm of an old seaside cottage, with layers of age, craftsmanship, and artistic expression that simply can't be replicated.
The standout feature is the top, which is covered with a vibrant floral textile protected beneath a fitted glass surface. The bold blue ground with yellow, orange, red, and green floral motifs creates a striking contrast to the weathered body and reflects the relaxed, artistic spirit often found in historic seaside homes.
Each drawer retains its original escutcheon-free keyhole (the small key openings above the knobs), a feature commonly found on antique chests when drawers were designed to be locked. Even if the original keys are no longer present, buyers often appreciate that the keyholes remain intact because they are part of the piece's original hardware configuration and historical character.
The original brass casters remain intact, providing a refined finishing detail and further contributing to the chest's antique appeal.
Built from solid wood, it offers five spacious drawers—two smaller drawers over three full-width drawers—with original wooden knobs and period details throughout. The proportions are substantial without being overwhelming, making it ideal as a bedroom dresser, entry statement piece, beach-house furnishing, or decorative storage chest.
Approximate dimensions:
Width: 44 inches
Height: 47 inches
Depth: approximately 22.5 inches (estimate; measure if exact dimensions are needed)
What makes it special:
From a 104-year-old coastal home
Original wood drawer pulls
Fitted protective glass top included
Rich, naturally aged patina
Solid wood construction
