Description
This is a Victorian Eastlake-style drop-center dresser dating from the late 19th century.
Key visual features include a drop-center design with a lowered central surface flanked by two raised tiers.
It's covered in white Eastlake-style marble slabs on all three surface levels.
This piece features a tall, rectangular, ornate pivoting mirror mounted in a heavily carved wooden frame.
There is a beautiful architectural pediment that crowns a triangular gabled top and an ornate wooden finial.
This piece showcases geometric incisions, corbels, and small candle shelves on the mirror sides.
Of course, Eastlake furniture works well in a traditional Victorian setting with its intricate design and marble tops. However, a simple search of these style pieces show how well they work in loft style living, coastal homes, and even modern homes where the furniture can be used as a focal point, similar to what you might use a fireplace for.
This piece is a statement in any room, and it's exceptionally well made allowing for another century or more of use!

Alterations: Unknown
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: This piece is in excellent condition showing normal wear for a furniture piece this old. I can't tell if this piece has been restored, but it's in such good shape, it is a good assumption that it has.
