~Victorian Walnut & Burl Marble Top Princess Drop Center Dresser w Shell Carvings c 1870~

     

       I am pleased to offer for sale this wonderful Victorian Walnut and Burl Walnut Marble Top Princess Drop Center Dresser with Shell Carvings circa 1870's. This splendid 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 carved shell pediment with applied carved scrolls and a applied walnut crest at the center accenting the top portion of the mirror. The carving details on this 19th century dresser are just beautiful!

    This lovely dresser measures a total height to the top of the pediment on the mirror of 82 1/2, the dresser width measures 46 inches, dresser depth measures 21 inches, and the height from the floor to the top of the marble sides measures 32 1/4 inches,height from the floor to the marble at the center measures 23 inches and this piece weighs approximately 150 lbs. The mirror portion and the marble does lift off to allow easier transport and moving ( mirror, base, and 3 pieces of marble). We believe the mirror to be a vintage replacement and it measures 31 3/4 inches high by 15 3/4 inches wide and is in fantastic condition . The dresser base offers its original rounded edge marble tops  with the base having raised panels of burl walnut on the drawer fronts and early hand-cut dove-tailed ends.

   Each side offers two smaller drawers over the large two drawers below. The larger drawers at the bottom have period heavy brass pulls, and all the locks are intact but the key provided just assists opening the smaller drawers at the top. We believe this dresser to have its original casters on the base to allow for easier movement within your home. The only apology I can find would be the decorative wood blocks at the base (back casters , one on each side see pictures) have lost a piece of the wood at some point in time, but this doesn't affect the stability or the casters at all and appears to have been like this for a long while. Also the key escutcheon on the top left drawer appears to have been replaced at some time.

   Just a very sturdy and well made Victorian Walnut & Burl Walnut Marble Top Drop Center Dresser that would make a great addition to a Victorian bedroom.
