    Age of this dressing table original painted wood
    This is some kind of dressing table. It is a manufactured piece but there is tons of hand work on it. I am sure in its day it was an inexpensive piece. It is pine and the top veneer was coming off. I took off and painted the top to match the rest. The paint is original. And the decorative painting is original. Not decal! Drawers are all had dovetailed and there are no nails in drawers. I love this thing and since it was 15.00 at a yard sale no biggy. Drawer puls are original but 1 missing on top. Back is slats of wood and painted and there is a manufacture # 210 on back.

    Hi, binkilicious!

    I would put the age of it as being in the mid 1920's. Of course, seeing it in person would be the best thing to do.

    Thanks!

    Hi clough
    My first inclination was 1920's so I think you are right. An antique sealer friend said about 1910-1920's I am leaning towards 20's
