Featured Mysterious antique dresser with face

Hi, I inherited this dresser and am trying to determine approximate value and the make/model/age. Would also appreciate recommendations about fastest/easiest way to sell it.

- Origin: unknown (currently in Portland, Oregon

- Dimensions: 72h x 60w x 26d

- Couldn’t find any marks or labels

- Additional notes: Very heavy solid wood, has built in wheels, beveled mirror, brass locking drawers, carved face

Fastest way to sell......post on local advertising media....pick up only...$125

 

Oak Neo-Renaissance style ca. 1890-1910. Presents as a buffet rather than a dresser. With no tag or label it will be virtually impossible to find out who made it, as there were hundreds of furniture makers across the country at that time. The stenciling in your fourth picture is a little puzzling, since it is obviously so much newer than the rest of the piece.

In any case, it doesn't matter for re-sale purposes. It's a nice piece and may bring a tad more than $125, but maybe not, depending on how the market is in Portland. @komokwa is right about posting it in local advertising media.

 

Wiping it off with a simple dust cloth might even earn you an extra dollar or two.

 

This buffet is nicer than most. Think $350.00 should be a target price. Could start higher and take best offer. Surely Portland can support such a value. There was a time this was a $800.00+ piece

 

I wish you lived in my city...what a beautiful piece of furniture.
