Anyone ever seen dresser pulls like these?

    Bought this dresser yesterday, and I've never seen one like it. The pulls have a cool design of a Native American shooting a deer, and it has 3 "secret" drawers inside the larger top drawer. Just curious how old it would be estimated to be. Didn't see any other markings, except on the back of the mirror.

    Hi Jessica!

    Hepplewhite pulls. Never have I seen them with a Native American hunting scene. Very pretty.

    Furniture folks should be along to answer your questions.

    Hard to see, but I'm thinking 1930s/40s.

    Flipped it in case anyone was trying to read it upside down (of course I'd never do that upload_2020-7-28_13-12-25.png )

    Politically incorrect as all get-out now of course. It looks like someone used linseed oil on the varnish at some point, more's the pity.

    Agreed, the bubbling alligatoring is evident.

    An understatement if there ever was one, think you could get that dresser photo a bit smaller?

    I don't think it matters

    The pulls are revivalist, as English furniture makers at the turn of the 18th/19thC were adorning chests of drawers with commemorative Heppelwhite/Regency Period pulls like this one from a circa 1810 bow front chest of drawers commemorating Nelson and the Battle of Trafalgar.
