Three Panel Mirror Dresser Appraisal

Tri-Fold Mirror Dresser / Vanity

This item is a large wooden dresser with an attached tri-fold mirror, indicative of a vanity or dresser combination. The piece is constructed from what appears to be a medium to dark stained wood, possibly walnut or mahogany, exhibiting a warm reddish-brown hue. The top surface of the dresser has a polished finish with subtle variations in color, suggesting natural wood grain. The dresser base features a serpentine or bowed front design, adding a classical or antique aesthetic. It is equipped with multiple drawers, specifically six visible ones arranged in two columns of three, each adorned with ornate, possibly brass or bronze, pull handles that appear to have a scrolled or floral motif. The drawers have a curved or 'bombé' shape, contributing to its elegant profile. The dresser stands on what appear to be short, tapered cabriole legs, a common feature in Baroque, Rococo, or Queen Anne styles. The tri-fold mirror is affixed to the back of the dresser and features an arched or carved pediment at the top, likely with some decorative carving or molding. The mirror frames also seem to be made from the same wood as the dresser. A string of beads is draped over the top center mirror frame, and a small, light-colored object (possibly a tassel or another decorative item) hangs from the right mirror frame. The overall condition appears good with a visible patina consistent with age and use. There are no immediate signs of major damage or repair, though surface wear or minor scratches on the wood finish would be expected for a piece of this type and age. The construction suggests traditional craftsmanship, reflecting a period likely from the mid-20th century, possibly in a French or Colonial Revival style.
