need help aging dresser

3 years ago

I purchased this hatbox dresser off of Facebook marketplace. I would like to be able to determine its age. My plan is to strip it and restore it as much as possible and I would like to get an idea of what hardware to use, etc. I’m having some difficulty finding one just like it..

Turn of the century or earlier based on the individual board back vs plywood. The hardware was a pressed metal fancy almost French look based on the remaining escutcheons. You will probably see shadow marks on the drawers after stripping to give you a better idea about the hardware.
