<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kennabonner, post: 9525534, member: 82554&quot;]Hi All and thank you so much for the warm welcome! I&#039;ll reply to you individually late tonight. I&#039;m behind on my classes as a result of my newly discovered &quot;passion&quot; (I like that way better. Thanks, Any Jewelry!) but will catch up and get to responding. I wanted to post my photos and get graded, and your insights, on this dresser. I inherited from my grandmother in the late 90s in New England (Mass) at the time. My grandmother inherited it from her grandmother, so I know it&#039;s at least 160 years old just based on that knowledge. My grandmother is quite the story teller, so it&#039;s hard to get a fix on our family&#039;s heritage, much less this dresser&#039;s. I mentioned in my introduction, I work in Oncology Research. I LOVE research. And oncology is not black and white, but it is nowhere near as grey as antiques! I&#039;m embarrassed to even post my findings. I&#039;d be thrilled to get a 50 on this &quot;test&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>1. The piece is either from England or the New England, going back at least 6 generations in Massachusetts. </p><p>2. 41&quot; 1/4 wide at top, 41&quot; wide main body of dresser, 40&quot; tall, 20&quot; deep at the top, 19 1/2&quot; main body</p><p>3. There are no marks indicating manufacturer, unless it could be under the paper that lines the drawers. I resized these down to roughly the suggested pixel size. Will include a link to my Google Photos Album if helpful or can upload them larger. This is my first post, first deep dive into antique research. </p><p><br /></p><p>So don&#039;t laugh, here&#039;s my best guess after EXTENSIVE research:</p><p>circa 1790-1810</p><p>mahogany or elm, possibly walnut??? with pine and cedar lined drawers</p><p>Regency (period or of the style?), Georgian, Hepplewhite (I thought when I saw the blue drawers but it&#039;s not paint, or fabric, it&#039;s like paper mache though may be ancient cabinet liner) 2 over 3 long graduated drawers with beaded edge on bracket feet. &#039;Prince of Wales Feathers&#039; drawer pulls, likely not original, inlayed brass escutcheon (no key). </p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t wait to hear how wrong I am. This is the most fun I&#039;ve had in ages! I look forward to your comments. </p><p>Kenna</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/WMhTRkQtYN22BBb49" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/WMhTRkQtYN22BBb49" rel="nofollow">https://photos.app.goo.gl/WMhTRkQtYN22BBb49</a></p><p>(this a link to ALL the photos if interested, not infected with anything - I work with patient records all day nearly every day so have layers of protection, so it&#039;s safe if you want to see more, or I can upload here)</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again![ATTACH=full]452268[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]452269[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]452270[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]452271[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]452272[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]452273[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]452274[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]452275[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]452276[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
