Those are Empire period pieces, the first one with the mirrors may be European, the second one looks USA. Nice, handcut dovetails on the drawer. Empire has never been highly collectible but markets do change from time to time. What you need to do is clean them up. Wipe them all down with mineral spirits, then buy some Briwax and apply in small areas with # 0000 steel wool. The before/after difference will amaze you. DO NOT work large areas with Briwax and remove it before its dry - you pay the devil getting it off once it is.
Thank you so much for you reply :) its very strange this two piecess are almost in perfect condition but pictures showes otherwise, thank you again MarielQuote:
