    Hello, I'm trying to find out information about this piece my great aunt recently passed down to me for our recently bought home.

    The back of the piece had a serial number and says "Heirloom by drexel 10/58"

    I've been trying to search for an heirloom collection by Drexel but I can't find any information about it.

    The only thing I was able to find is an almost identical piece in their Travis court collection seen here ( but mine doesn't have that design at the top part) https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/12971159_drexel-travis-court-mahogany-corner-cabinet

    I've attached a picture of the piece.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    I would imagine the 10/58 is the date. Basic traditional post-war fare. Much of it is patterned after Hepplewhite/ Duncan Phyfe designs. Much of this is mahogany with hardwoods stained to match but your looks a bit more like walnut. Hard to tell from this pic and they have used shading in their finish which obscures the natural look of the wood quite a bit. No real collector value just reasonable quality used furniture at this point. Drexel used to make pretty good furniture, though their quality has dropped off quite a bit these days.
