Crafted during the Rococo Revival period, it embodies the elegance of the era with its flowing curves, carved crest, and white marble top fitted neatly into its molded frame. The craftsmanship is unmistakable from the hand cut dovetails and chamfered back panels to the careful joinery that has kept it solid for more than 150 years.
The wood itself tells another story. This dresser is clad in rosewood, one of the most luxurious cabinet woods of the 19th century. Imported from Brazil at great expense, rosewood was overharvested to the point that it became scarce even by the end of the Victorian era. Today, the species shown here is protected and can no longer be harvested, which means its scarcity grows by the day. Unlike the rosewood varieties sometimes used in modern instruments or decorative veneers, this was the rosewood of wealthy commissions chosen for its dramatic grain, its deep color, and the prestige it carried. To own a piece like this in the 1850s was to signal refinement and status. And then there are the details you only discover up close like the hidden drawer concealed at the base, designed to look like trim but opening to reveal a discreet storage compartment for your most prized possessions.
