Im resotoring this but I have no idea what period it it or what it is. Has anyone seen anything like it before? It seems to be had done with very little or no glue . It hold up mostly under its own weight.
Was the mirror attached to the decorative brackets with pins so it can be angled?
Were there originally deep drawers below the small drawers or were those just open spaces/alcoves?
I also see that the black marble slabs do not fit flush with the dresser surface. Do you think those are from some previous “restoration” or original to the piece?
What type surface does the separate cabinet have? Just wondering if it’s marble also.
Yes you are correct on the mirror. The cabinet has a drawer on top and a door below. I posted a picture of one side, the other door is missing the hardware to keep it in place so it is out for now.
They are both marble. I think it was worked on before. I have cut new marble that fits flush since the picture. I am working on the mirror frame now. It was warped, broken into 5 pieces and glued with gorilla glue. Its been a tough job so far
I don’t know the name of the style but my parents had a similar dresser as part of their bedroom set which was bought in the late 1940s.
Awesome that is a good place to start thank you :)
To please and to entertain my elderly mother in her final years, I made a bedroom set of dollhouse furniture to replicate that bedroom set that she and my dad had bought just after WWII when they got married.
She loved the little set I made and the way I decorated the dollhouse bedroom—it brought back good memories for her.
This is incredible, but your dresser is almost identical to my tiny 1:12 scale dresser!
I’ll try to post it soon.
Please do!
Awesomnonyous, today I will be posting the second part of a dollhouse post I started yesterday.
I hope you will check out the dresser that I think looks like yours!
