<p>[QUOTE="ritzyvintage, post: 3543802, member: 18191"]It was also fashionable during the Victorian period, to break-up certain items of "old" furniture and marry pieces to make another piece. I'm of the mind that an entire middle section of the dresser is missing. I am certainly no expert, but some of the carving on your dresser looks machine-crafted, as it is very precise, exact and repetitive. Also, there is no age-related patina upon the dresser which one would expect for a piece dating back over 300 years. I may get my tongue bitten off here, but I doubt it has a value of £3,500 or even half of that amount. It is however a stylish piece in its own way. Where are its door & draw handles, too???[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
