Colonial Revival Dresser Appraisal

Mid-20th Century Colonial Revival Triple Dresser

This is a substantial horizontal triple dresser, likely manufactured in the United States during the mid-to-late 20th century (circa 1960s-1970s), designed in the American Colonial Revival style. The piece is constructed primarily of maple or cherry wood with a warm honey-amber finish. It features a layout of twelve drawer fronts: eight smaller drawers at the top (arranged in two decorative blocks with center medallion accents) and four larger side-by-side drawers below. The case features a classic beveled top edge and a scalloped plinth base with bracket-style feet. The hardware consists of ornate antiqued brass-style batwing bails and escutcheons, which are characteristic of 18th-century reproductions. Notable physical features include the faux-paneling on the upper drawers and central decorative 'buttons' or medallions. Regarding condition, there is visible surface wear including minor scratches and scuffs on the top surface and drawer edges, indicative of regular household use. The finish shows some variation and light patina, but no major structural damage or missing hardware is immediately apparent. The craftsmanship reflects mass-production quality typical of mid-market American furniture companies such as Ethan Allen or Kling Colonial, characterized by solid wood frames and plywood or veneer panels.
