Thread: Dresser age?

    Default Dresser age?

    I’ve been trying to find any info I can on this bedroom dresser set, and haven’t been able to find exactly what I’m looking for. I’ve tried to look up by design, leg styles, handles, etc.. I honestly couldn’t even tell you what kind of wood this is made from. I know it’s old, just not sure how old. From the looks of the bottom of the drawer it almost seems like the dovetails are machine made. They look far too perfect to be hand cut. I have also looked up down and all around on these things, looking for some sort of marking indicator of where it’s from. Nothing at all is anywhere, other than the number written numerous times, which looks to be a 14. Any help steering me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

    Type of wood? Age? Style? Value? Which I know is subjective but an idea of value would be a nice starter point.

    It's a modern production piece (20th century) with drawer guides, plywood bottom, drawer glue blocks an nail-up glides and has jig-cut dovetails in a French Provincial style. It has no particular collector value and is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. The number "14" is indicative of the unit in the run of chests made at the factory.
