    Hi,
    Im trying to learn some history on this 18th century small dresser. Has anyone seen, or perhaps own a piece like this as well?
    Thank you for any help!

      Nice! Do you really mean 18th century? Feels more like late 19th century if not younger. 1900-1910 perhaps.... The ornamentation looks a bit machine made, yet beautiful. Don't get me wrong but I would expect more craftmanship if it was 18th century. They seem to be part of the same set or are they just similar? Is the one to the right much smaller?

      It isn't 18th century. It is classic Victorian-- mid to late 19th century.

      Look up "Victorian dresser" and you will see many similar pieces.

      A photo of the drawer construction (dovetails) may help in narrowing the date.

      Just realized you are showing two pieces-- which one is yours?

      Yes the one on the right is smaller. I was told by my client that I'm restoring these for, that her grandmother got them at an antique auction over 25yrs ago, and she was told late 1700's... but as I'm working on them I've seen things that do not match up... They have nails that are definitely made by blacksmith... What are your thoughts.. There's also a nightstand, bed, tri fold mirror with lead mirrors, and 2 other mirrors...
      Thank You

      The style is at least 50 years later than the 18th century-- CLASSIC VICTORIAN.

      Do an online search for "Victorian Dresser" and you will see many similar pieces.

      As I said earlier, the dovetails may help in refining the date.
