    I was wondering if anyone could help me identify this piece? It belonged to my great grandparents. They purchased it used not long after they married. I am thinking it was originally made 1850-1890.

    I think your date is a little too early. More like 1890 - 1920

    Gentleman's dresser sounds correct but wait for Brad to pop in and confirm.

    Clutteredcloset is right on. Sometimes called golden oak period furniture.

    Thanks

    Not without a label. There were hundreds of makers and it really doesn't matter who made it if not by one of the very top makers of the day. I can guarantee it is not by one of them. It is a bit unusual with the double boxes but not unheard of. You usually see just one in an asymmetrical arrangement.
