Need help identifying these antique or vintage dressers

Hi Houzzers,

I hope I am posting this in the correct place.

My elderly parent is moving and may not be able to keep these dressers. They look like mid-century modern but I am no expert on furniture! There are two dressers right next to one another in the photos below. They each measure 19” d x 34” w x 44” h and the legs have metal tips. There is kind of an angled bar connecting the legs. Not sure if the wood is walnut. The drawers are dovetailed. I haven’t seen a maker label yet but also didn’t look too closely as the drawers are still full. Has anyone seen similar dressers? The rest of the set includes two short chests and a smaller nightstand.

Thank you!

WOW but why are you asking. Are you wanting to sell them ? want to use them in your home ? I sure would want to keep them in my house maybe even not all in the same space . I need more info and I guess if it is important to you , you need to see if you can find mor einfo on the pieces.

Is this it? With the oval metal handles, it looks like the Mainline Collection by Hooker. Here are other pieces from that line.

A trick I learned from Houzz is the Google image search. You have to have the Google app, then open and click the camera icon. You can take a picture of anything and it will find things that look similar. I used it a lot when we were clearing out my FIL's house.

Beautiful! I wouldn't mind owning them. Hooker is a quality company.

Indeed Hooker Mainline, walnut. I hate to say "vintage" because that makes me vintage. 1950 is a good guess at the time line. Take a look at the prices:

@ stiley and judianna20: Thank you so much for the links and photos, and the tip on using google search. The dressers look exactly like those you posted.

@ judianna20: Your comment about vintage made me laugh! A lot of great things are vintage!

@houssaon and Patricia Colwell Consulting: Thank you for your kind words about the pieces. I agree they are beautiful! My elderly parent is moving and we aren’t yet sure if the pieces will fit in the new space. I don’t want to break up the set of 5 pieces. I was sure they are quality but had no idea they are so desirable! I love vintage furniture and know it is very difficult to find similar quality anymore. Would a dresser look odd in a MCM styled dining room?
