SOLD Antique Victorian Unusual Princess Dresser / Marble Top Chest

We are pleased to be offering today this what I believe they used to call a Victorian princess dresser. The reason why it was called that is that the over length mirror in the center allowed the lady of the house to see the full bustle of her dress. This one looks like an oversize drop center. Dating from the 1870s, it has burl panels all over, hand carved crest on the very top, five different style shapely mirrors, rose quartz on the drop center and two top columns, four small drawers, one large drawer on the base and a hidden drawer on the very bottom. The burl panels are all picture frame molded on the drawers and on the inside of the drop center. It has oversize candle shelves. In my over 50 years in the business, I don’t believe I have owned this model even though I have had my share of drop center dressers. We did have to shore up the base on this on the internal behind the drawers, which you wouldn’t notice, but I wanted you to know the base has been tightened up. It is missing a few of the little decorative buttons that you can see if you look real close on the dome top above the mirrors. The overall height of this dresser is 98 inches tall. If you leave the dresser crest on, you will need more than an eight-foot ceiling. If you need it to fit for an eight-foot ceiling, then you can take the top crest off. It has hand cut dove tail, fancy engraved brass hardware, rose quartz marble, panel sides and original finish. The overall size is 48 inches wide, 24 inches deep, 30 inches high to the wells, 16 inches high to the center marble and 98 inches high overall. It is in nice original condition with minor flaws here and there. There is a piece of the top tip of the hand carved crest that was repaired and a sliver of carving missing on the bottom of the crest. The mirrors are all original and the middle mirror has some age marks on the bottom to add charm and character.
