Beautiful Antique Dressers

Profile picture for user rivera.christine10

Description

This is a 3 piece set, the first one has two drawers on the bottom and 3 slide out drawers on the top, the second one has two huge drawers and both have very intricate detailed cuts on the wood along the sides and top. On the handles which are rings are ornaments of early century women. The 3rd piece is a hutch type to hang clothes like a closet. All 3 pieces are very heavy made of strong wood and varnished, very classy looking. The dressers belonged originally to my great aunt who came from the old country as we call it (Syria) and always purchased very nice furniture then she passed it on to my aunt who has also since passed a couple of years ago and left it to me. So I believe the dresser has to be at least 60-70 years old without a doubt. It was made by a company called Montour Furniture Company and I believe may have been purchased during the late 1930's to early 1940's. I have done some research on the company but cant figure out if they are still around or not? I would appreciate your opinion on what you think that the value of these beautiful antique dressers may be worth? Thank you, Christine Rivera
