    Hello, is anyone able to identify how old this dresser might be? Or any information about it.

    Many thanks

    Your photos are pretty poor quality. Please try again with some light on the subject and be sure & select full size instead of thumbnail. Thanks.

    Is that when the wood has been split and looks like it is folded open, like a book?

    Yep, is.

    Yep, mid 19th century. Very popular back in the day, millions of these chests were made in north america & many survive today. Not much value these days, these late Classical chests are a very good buy.

    Bun feet. Might even be one of ours. It'd be a bit earlier if so.
