Handmade walnut burle dresser
This is a uniquely carved dresser with dowel construction drawers. There is no finish whatsoever on the inside of the drawers - they look like an old barn. I believe this is handmade as I cannot find any markings on it anywhere. The carved top from the back of the dresser snapped off when we loaded it into the car, it had previously been broken and glued together.
L: 40 x W: 19 x H: 65
I bought it from an outfit that purchases furniture from estate sales.
