Antique Carved Wood Dresser with Mirror

This item is an antique dresser, likely from the late 19th or early 20th century, characterized by its ornate carved wooden construction and integrated mirror. The dresser appears to be crafted from a hardwood, possibly oak or walnut, exhibiting a rich, medium-to-dark brown stain that highlights its intricate wood grain, which features distinctive tiger or quarter-sawn patterns on the top surface and drawer fronts. The top surface of the dresser has a curvilinear, serpentine front edge, adding to its visual appeal and suggesting an Art Nouveau or Victorian aesthetic. The main body of the dresser includes multiple drawers, though only the top drawer front is partially visible, featuring a simple, possibly round, wooden pull. The hardware, though not perfectly clear, seems to be original or period appropriate due to its integration with the wood. The accompanying mirror is framed in a similarly carved wooden frame, echoing the curvaceous lines and stylistic elements of the dresser base, with scrolling details at the top and sides. The mirror itself appears to be an original or period piece, with some visible silvering degradation or reflections suggesting its age. The overall condition reveals a well-maintained patina consistent with age and use, with no obvious major damage like large chips or cracks evident, though minor wear and surface scratching are likely present given its age. The craftsmanship suggests a high-quality piece of furniture, with detailed carving and a substantial build.
