<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 140719, member: 44"]Welcome to the forum! On the "dresser cabinet," are there doors under that 1 or 2 drawers side by side? I can't see it well enough to tell anything about it. If those are doors it might have been meant as a sideboard rather than a dresser? We need close-ups pics: close-ups of any details on the mirror frame, close-ups of the drawer opened to see how it's made, close-up of the doors open and a pic of the back of it. With close-ups of any decoration on the mirror frame, drawer front, etc... someone may be able to date it like whether cottage/Eastlake, etc. The hardware, pulls, do look 1890s, but don't know if they original to the piece. If there are doors, do they have brass knobs? Has it been refinished or painted. It almost looks like it's been painted black to these old eyes.</p><p><br /></p><p>I haven't any help on the dresser top shaving tilt mirror. I'm no good on IDing woods. Do wait for others to chime.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
