    I've spent hours on Google and couldn't find the info that I want . So I stopped searching and take a break and I was hoping to see if anyone have this info or finding website on exact as the pictures shown . It has 11 drawers in total . 4 on each side and 3 in the middle with cabinet . I'm aware of John Stuart and John Widdicomb's history and furniture. John Stuart INC are excellent furnitures . Both Stuart and Widdicomb's furniture doesn't come cheap , very pricey ! I was hoping if anyone find exact info as my pics shown . Thanks

    I am not finding it either. I did find this piece that seems to match style-wise except for hardware. Even before finding it, I was thinking the drawer pulls on yours might not be right. Seem out of character for the piece and the maker.

    Pic is from a site called Wanelo. I don't know the site and could not get it to load, so no other information.

    I found the exact same piece on Charish. Seems to be refinished.....

    This one is pretty close but different legs and brass pull , made by Drexel not even by John Stuart . I've seen other John Stuart's dresser goes for over $6,000 . Crazy price .

    And the one you sent me the pics and you're right it seems already refinished and it looks to new and freshly painted ,While painting the pieces has killed their financial value, it sounds like the sentimental value will endure. Mine hasn't painted it and I rather leave it original. I'm using it for my bedroom dresser.

    I'm finding information that John Stuart wasn't a maker, but possibly a designer. Also this, that it was a showroom.

    "Another famous name found in furniture that is often believed to be that of a manufacturer is “John Stuart, Inc.” But John Stuart was a high-end retail showroom in Grand Rapids and New York that sold quality products made by, but unlabeled by, a number of manufacturers in Grand Rapids."
