I am pleased to offer for sale this fine Classic American Empire Crotch Mahogany Marble Top Dresser / Chest with Wishbone Mirror circa 1840's. This marble top dresser / chest has gorgeous crotch mahogany on the drawer fronts surrounded by beautiful ribbon molding and the original wood pulls. This splendid dresser / chest measures a total height of 80 inches to the top of the mirror , height to the top of the marble top glove boxes is 39 inches, height to the marble top center measures 34 inches, a total width of 43 1/2 inches wide and 19 inches deep and weighs approximately 160 lbs. The gorgeous wishbone mirror is framed in crotch mahogany with beaded trim and rests in matching arm supports (old repair on left arm support...see close-up), the width of the mirror frame measures 27 1/2 inches and the old original mirror measures 27 1/2 inches high by 15 1/2 inches wide. The wishbone mirror rests is a turned mahogany slot on top of the center storage drawer flanked by marble top glove box drawers and a drop marble top center.The base offers three large storage drawers each having gorgeous crotch mahogany fronts, wood pulls and beautiful ribbon mahogany trim that encases each drawer. All the drawers have early period dove-tailing, and all the locks are intact but we do not have the key. There are two small spots where the veneer is missing (about 1 inch long on the left side above the second and third drawer) and the left wood pull on the top center drawer has been repaired, also a piece of the vertical ribbon molding is missing on the bottom right side at the base corner. This is a wonderful example of a Classic American Empire Marble Top Chest / Dresser circa 1840's and is fine quality, solid and very sturdy and has a commanding presence all of its own!
