Being presented for sale is this wonderful Victorian Walnut and Burl Walnut Tennessee Brown Marble Top Drop Center Dresser with a Fancy Carved High Crest circa 1875. This fine 19th century Victorian dresser offers beautiful raised panels of burl walnut on the mirror portion as well as on the drawer fronts, and the top of the mirror has a wonderful fancy carved high crest with carved fruit below at the center, flanked with raised panels of burl walnut and intricate carved rosettes accenting the top portion of the mirror. We believe this dresser to have its old original finish and the original casters on all four feet.
This lovely dresser measures a total height to the top of the pediment on the mirror of 90 inches, the dresser width measures 42 1/2 inches, dresser depth measures 19 inches, and the height from the floor to the top of the marble sides measures 32 1/2 inches,height from the floor to the marble at the center measures 25 1/2 inches and this piece weighs approximately 155 lbs. The mirror portion and the marble does lift off to allow easier transport and moving.
We believe the old wavy mirror to be original and it measures 35 1/2 inches high by 17 inches wide and is in fine antique condition with only some silver dusting that's age appropriate. The lovely brown beveled edge marble on the base is also original and is in wonderful antique condition, however the center marble (right side towards the back of the dresser) does show an old repair which I have shown a close-up shot of, repair appears tight and secure and very well done and not very noticeable at all unless close inspection.. The dresser base offers two smaller drawers on each side above two larger drawers below ( please note the sliver of wood missing on the stile between the two larger drawers) . The drawers offer period ebony and brass teardrop pulls, early dove-tailed ends, and all the locks are intact on the drawers but we do not have they key.
Just a very sturdy and well made Victorian Walnut Brown Marble Top dresser that still has many more years of lovely elegance to offer despite the apologies; it would make a great addition to an Victorian bedroom.
