Hi! I'm hoping someone here can help me. I was given this dresser by a realtor emptying a house, who knows I've recently begun refinishing furniture. I try to always figure out what I've got before I start tearing into it. Because it wasn't given by the previous owner - it was just left behind - I wasn't given any info. Here's what I can see so far:
- dovetail joints, some look even some don't
- drawers slide on wood rails with wooden casters. They have metal (possibly iron) drawers stops which have worn a significant groovesin the bottoms of the drawers.
- it's been badly painted
- the wood on the back is slats vs one sheet of plywood. And it appear very worn and aged there was a sticker or stamp there, you can see the ghost shadow of it.
Any insight anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated! I really just want to learn more about it. It helps me gain knowledge and I just find it fascinating! Thanks!!
