Notes on Value Factors:

  • Sets in excellent condition with original hardware and mirror command higher prices.
  • Wear to veneer or missing pulls will decrease value.
  • Provenance (e.g., if it’s marked by a known maker) can increase collectibility.

🔍 Authentication Tips

  • Check inside the top drawers or on the back panels for stamped or burned-in maker marks.
  • If marked Bassett, White Furniture, or Kent Coffey, this could boost the confirmed resale value.
  • The style and craftsmanship align with pieces made in North Carolina or Virginia during the American furniture boom of the 20th century.

This is a well-preserved, vintage French Provincial-style triple dresser and mirror set, most likely American-made in the 1960s or early 1970s. While not rare, it is highly desirable due to its elegant curves, solid build, and nostalgic aesthetic. The value remains strong among buyers seeking vintage furnishings with timeless appeal.
