Mahogany dresser age?

Any idea of the age of this mahogany dresser? TIA

 

Hey Daniel:

Not many stylistic clues with this. In my part of the U.S. Midwest, the feet on a dresser like this point to either German craftsmen or craftsmen of German descent. A rough guess would be ca. 1900.

 

Are there dust boards? Any shrinkage to the interior drawers? There are American pieces with splayed feet referred to as Hepplewhite and then English pieces Georgian. I cant really see the dovetail on my computer because the picture won't enlarge. They look like they could be 1860's but this is just a guess.

 

I cannot see very well, but I do not really see dovetail at all. It looks almost like straight lines. We will need a more definitive picture to be sure.

 

There are dovetails - just hard to see.

 

I think possibly American even earlier in the 1800's, like ca 1800. Need pics: closeup dovetails, a drawer bottom, foot to look for replacement/repair, and the inside of a drawer front so we can see the drawer pulls. Nice mahogany veneer in good condition and possibly original hardware - this is one of the nicer furniture pieces we've seen.

 

Too far away - we need a closeup plus the other pics.

 

That would be 1830s ish here, although the feet are most untypical.

 

what is that secondary wood? Poplar? Pine? Dust boards?
