Accurate Description of Item
One Bird's Eye Maple Colonial Revival Style Dresser with Mirror.
Appraiser Remarks
Dressers of this type are in what's called the "Colonial Revival" style. Colonial Revival pieces are reproductions of the original American Federal items originally produced from 1620-1780. The Colonial Revival style first became popular after the first Centennial of the American Revolution in 1876, but dressers 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, this lead to large manufacturers to begin production of pieces in the Colonial and Federal styles from the Jacobean to late Georgian periods.
Without a label or other marking determining a maker is difficult, as most furniture companies produced furniture in this style during this period. Demand and values for furniture in this style last peaked in the 1990's and has been in decline since that time.
