Welcome......

 

Does Anyone know the maker, year, if it is an antique?

 

Can you help me find it

 

Hi and welcome!

You might try asking in the Furniture section of the forum if no one responds in a while. Not everyone looks at the Introductions. It also can take some time for responses as the right person might not be online regularly and also this is an international forum so time zones also make a difference.

 

Thank you for your feedback. Much appreciated

 

A similar chest, selling at a consignment shop online for $275. Described as Victorian. I found many similar chests with acorn handles with a quick google search.

Thank you, I have searched and cannot find this same dresser anywhere. The detail on the side of drawers and along the front sides, are not like any other dresser. Nor are the leaves and acorns the same.. just hoping to get more details on the maker and year.
I am in Kentucky and bought this at an auction as well.

 

I've seen similar. 1890-ish to 1900, or something like that. I bet @verybrad and @Ghopper1924 can nail it down further. These pieces don't sell for much where I live, but solid oak for under $300 would be stealing in a modern furniture store. Cheaper than Ikea, probably.

 

Looks like a ca. 1890 Walnut dresser with rabbeted drawers reinforced by pins. The leaf and walnut drawer pulls were often made in quantity by shops with equipment suited to the task, and sold to other woodworkers. However, there is so much individual variation with these that I believe they were made by the same person who made the dresser itself in imitation of similar pulls seen on other pieces.

I could easily see this piece being made by a country craftsman in Kentucky. He was no John Henry Belter, but the piece has a raw utilitarian charm for sure. I'd expect to see this going for $100, at best $200 at a local auction. If you could even find an Ikea dresser in solid walnut these days it would be far more expensive, and far less worth having.
