look at this antique dresser set and let me know what it is plz??
Last year my boyfriend brought me home this vintage dresser set. At first I thought it was ugly but after a while it grew on me. The othewr day I was moving it around and i noticed a year on the back. It is from 1928. I cant seem to find anything like it anywere online!!
I would like to know what style it is, what is it actually called, and should I refinish it??
I know nothing about old furniture and desperatly need some some details!!
thank you, here is the link:

also, does anyone know a good site to identify different types of wood
thank you for the info!!!!
my boyfriend actually got it out of a house that was going to be demolished!!! he workks in construcition so him and his team got to pick what they wanted. i had no clue it was worth anything at all!!!
how much do these usually sell for if it all refinished?
This bureau was once part of a larger bedroom suite. The style is a loose version of Adamesque or American Federal — the swags are signature motifs of these styles. Likely it was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the furniture capitol of the world in the 1920′s. It was almost entirely machine made. I suggest you DO NOT refinish this chest. The wood underneath is a very thin veneer; the paint was applied to cover problems, and actually is quite attractive. If there are a few chips, get the paint color matched (take a drawer to a paint store for a perfect color match) and make some touch ups.
