<p>[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 4359635, member: 5170"]I'd think ca. 1890 U.S. walnut. Your family may have purchased this some decades after they moved here in the mid-19th century, but it does not date back that far and is in my estimation American. The sausage marble, for example, may be from Tennessee. It does look like someone has taken care to repair the piece at some time in the past, and in some of the photos it's difficult to tell what's what. If you see nail holes on the upper back then the dresser may have had a mirror.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
