Antique Serpentine Front Wooden Dresser

This is a wooden dresser, likely made of a darker wood such as oak or mahogany, exhibiting a rich, warm brown tone with visible wood grain, suggesting solid wood construction rather than veneer for the main body. The dresser features three full-width drawers positioned below two smaller half-width drawers at the top, totaling five drawers. The drawers are equipped with ornate metal pull handles, possibly brass or bronze, featuring an antique or classical design. The top surface of the dresser has a decorative border, possibly carved or inlaid, adding to its aesthetic appeal. The overall shape is a serpentine or bombé front, giving it a curved, bow-fronted appearance, characteristic of Rococo revival or Victorian styles. The legs appear to be short and turned, ending in what might be bun feet or small carved feet. There is a lower stretcher bar connecting the legs, providing additional support. The finish shows noticeable wear, including scratches, scuffs, and areas where the finish has thinned or worn away, particularly on the drawer fronts and edges, indicating significant age and use. There is also a potential water stain or discoloration on one of the lower drawer fronts. The hardware appears intact but may benefit from cleaning. While no specific maker's marks are visible, the style strongly suggests a piece from the late 19th to early 20th century, likely between 1880 and 1920. The craftsmanship appears sturdy, indicative of period furniture built for durability, though its current condition reflects a need for restoration to bring back its original luster. The top surface shows signs of common use, with various modern objects placed on it.
