    This is my first post and I'm looking for help identifying what I think is a low boy dresser. It stands about 25" tall and is 45" wide. It is made of red oak. All three drawers have skeleton key locks. I'm pretty sure the hardware is not original as one drawer still has an oval silver piece around the key hole. At one time there was a tag on the back of the dresser but there's nothing left now but a small piece that falls apart when you touch it...no writing is visible. No identifying makers marks that I can see anywhere. Any help from y'all would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much!

    Id guess 1900-1910 or so. The style was mass produced for years,usually you see it in golden oak.But do wait for others to chime in.

    Its grandmother was in one of my college dorm rooms. Three drawers. That school kept everything!

    Agree with Johnny. Early 1900s oak dresser. Commonly sold through Sears, Montgomery Wards.

    Someone has painted it black. I don't think that is original.

    Agree with above. Called a serpentine front. Could have been oak or mahogany. Agree that those escutcheons are not original.

    Thank you all for your comments. The dresser belonged to my aunt, and my dad is restoring it for me! I appreciate y'all taking the time to respond. Very helpful!
