The dresser features a substantial bow-front case with two upper drawers over two generously sized lower drawers, accented with ornate period-style metal hardware. Gracefully carved supports, scrolling foliate details, a shaped apron, and carved paw feet give the piece an impressive architectural presence.

The commanding matching mirror is especially striking, surrounded by elaborate hand-carved acanthus and scrollwork and crowned by a beautifully detailed carved crest. The highly figured oak throughout the dresser and mirror creates remarkable depth and visual movement.
