<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 272630, member: 37"]Not familiar with the term princess dresser. A search of the term <i>antique princess dresser</i> brings up lower than usual dressers with elongated mirrors. They do not have the different height portions to the top. There are also dressing vanities which have the elongated mirror and two pedestals on either side. Both are several decades later than the piece in question.</p><p><br /></p><p>Princess dresser.....</p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiHleT6hPrVAhWE6oMKHVAEARcQjRwIBw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fpin%2F502292164675381100%2F&psig=AFQjCNGxSyQ7zIqJfSDKF4lME7a5KqRRLA&ust=1504013335321843" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiHleT6hPrVAhWE6oMKHVAEARcQjRwIBw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fpin%2F502292164675381100%2F&psig=AFQjCNGxSyQ7zIqJfSDKF4lME7a5KqRRLA&ust=1504013335321843" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://i.pinimg.com/236x/c7/8e/b7/c78eb7ba4afc9c4d506d5d0a47ce601f--picture-frames-repurpose.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>Dressing vanity.....</p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwixnb_mhfrVAhVB44MKHc_kB-MQjRwIBw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fpin%2F538320961679926435%2F&psig=AFQjCNGpvAErABXeSrGbIxN3eZZekOVpvA&ust=1504013609717507" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwixnb_mhfrVAhVB44MKHc_kB-MQjRwIBw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fpin%2F538320961679926435%2F&psig=AFQjCNGpvAErABXeSrGbIxN3eZZekOVpvA&ust=1504013609717507" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/f9/8a/fb/f98afb7b784c46fbd8c43b259c335c4a--antique-vanity-antique-dressers.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>This is how the OP's dresser should look....</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiPkYKVhvrVAhVs6oMKHSl9AxwQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fm.g.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FImpressive-Walnut-Victorian-Marble-Top-Drop-Center-Dresser-Princess-Dresser-%2F282098902209%3Fnav%3DSEARCH&psig=AFQjCNGudNlLcsxTnAQ7RFuvZOwxTYtbfg&ust=1504013745879235" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiPkYKVhvrVAhVs6oMKHSl9AxwQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fm.g.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FImpressive-Walnut-Victorian-Marble-Top-Drop-Center-Dresser-Princess-Dresser-%2F282098902209%3Fnav%3DSEARCH&psig=AFQjCNGudNlLcsxTnAQ7RFuvZOwxTYtbfg&ust=1504013745879235" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFgxMDYw/z/mt8AAOSwFNZWu7Cl/$_1.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p>As you can see, the mirror was an important part of the statement the piece makes.
