Dressers of this type are in what's called the "Federal Revival" style. This one was made during the first quarter of the 20th Century. Revival pieces are reproductions of the original American Federal furnishing originally produced from 1780-1830. The American Revival styles first became popular after the first Centennial of the American Revolution in 1876, but pieces like this were made right up until World War Two (1939). At that time interest and demand for original Colonial & Federal furnishings was so great it outstripped supply, which led to large manufacturers producing pieces in styles from the Jacobean to late Georgian periods. Today values for these pieces depends on their quality of construction, how close they follow original designs and their overall condition.
