Antique Art Deco Waterfall Dresser – Burled Wood Veneer with Carved Details & Brass Pulls (Circa 1930s–1940s)
This is an Antique Art Deco Waterfall Dresser from the 1930s–1940s, featuring stunning burled wood veneer with rich, natural figuring. The "waterfall" style edges, where the wood gently curves over the sides, are characteristic of American Art Deco furniture from this period.
The dresser has three large drawers with ornate brass bail handles and a narrow top drawer for smaller items. The drawer faces display book-matched veneer patterns, adding visual interest and depth. Decorative accents include carved beading beneath the top drawer and a diamond-pattern carved skirt along the base. The piece rests on its original metal casters, allowing for easy mobility.
