<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ghopper1924, post: 9565277, member: 5170&quot;]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.</p><p><br /></p><p>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&#039;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.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
