handmade walnut dresser with mirror and marble surface
This antique dresser has been in my family (and most recently in my garage) for as long as I can remember. There are no manufacturer's markings on it. My dad remembers that it was handmade, but unsure by whom. But he does remember it came from my great grandparents home. It is walnut and the surface pieces are marble. It has a mirror. 49' wide, 19' deep, 78' high. I'm interested in selling it, but don't have any idea how much it's worth. Can you help?
came from great grandparents' home. unknown origin prior to that. we believe it's handmade.

These pieces almost always had some kind of veneer on them. I've amended by taking out the word veneer; it does not change the value.
Thank you. I'm not sure why you assumed it is veneered. The dresser is solid walnut. How does this impact the estimated value?
