Lammerts Appraisal

Lammert's Furniture Company Drawer Assembly

This item is an interior drawer assembly from a piece of vintage wooden furniture, featuring a distinct metal identification plaque. The drawer is constructed from finished light-toned wood, likely oak or mahogany secondary wood typical for drawer interiors, showing standard joinery. On the inner side panel, a dark, rectangular metal tag is attached with small pins. The tag displays the name 'Lammert's' in a stylized cursive script, which was the mark of the Lammert Furniture Company based in St. Louis, Missouri. The company operated from the mid-19th century through the late 20th century, suggesting this piece likely dates to the mid-20th century based on the font and hardware style. The wood shows a smooth finish with minor surface abrasions and dust accumulation consistent with regular household use. The construction quality appears high, reflecting the brand's reputation for well-made residential furniture. The visible corner exhibits a rounded easing on the top edge of the side rail. The presence of the manufacturer's mark significantly aids in provenance and valuation for mid-western American furniture collectors. The background shows part of a black telescopic handle, likely from a luggage piece, which provides scale and suggests the item is currently in a storage or transition setting.
