<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 541908, member: 37"]Circa 1900 oak indeed. There is some disagreement on whether this configuration is a dresser with bonnet chest or a gentleman's dresser with compartment for shaving accessories. I would tend toward the latter on this one, with the lower cabinet for housing a wash basin. I guess it could be for either and really is kind of an example of Victorian excess. If a dresser is good, one with a floating cabinet is different than the competition's and better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
