Antique Oak and Burl Veneer Chest of Drawers

This is an antique chest of drawers, likely dating from the Late Victorian or early 20th Century, possibly exhibiting American Empire transitional elements. The dresser features a solid oak wood construction with prominent burl oak veneer on the drawer fronts, displaying distinctive swirling grain patterns. It stands approximately 46 inches high and 36 inches wide, with depth unknown. The configuration is a classic 'two-over-three' setup, meaning two smaller drawers across the top row and three full-width drawers beneath. Each drawer is inset and adorned with simple, spherical wooden knobs for pulls and small, round metal keyholes, suggesting they may have locks. The dresser's overall color is a rich, warm brown, indicative of aged oak and a well-developed patina. The legs are tapered, ending in what appear to be original metal casters, providing mobility. The condition is good, consistent with its age, showing minor scuffs and dings from regular use. A small chip is notable on the bottom front edge, but no major repairs are visible, indicating original integrity. The craftsmanship appears solid and functional, characteristic of durable antique furniture built for daily use. No visible maker's marks or signatures are present.
