Accurate Description of Item
One Mid Century Modern Dresser by Bassett. The dresser with four drawer and finished in a light brown Mahogany shade.
Appraiser Remarks
Bassett's involvement in the furniture business goes back to the early years of the 20th century, but the family was involved in the lumber business before that. The early pieces were plain and simple with Applied carving, which was very popular during the turn of the 19th century. Pieces like this one were influenced by Danish Designers of the Danish Modern Movement that gained popularity after World War Two, most like this one tend to date from the late 1950's through the late 1960's.
Values for these pieces tend to depend on the maker and the current condition, examples like this one in need of some cosmetic restoration tend to sell for a good deal less than those in very good original or restored condition. At auction a comparable to yours in its present condition would sell for under $200.00.
