Antique Marble Top Dresser – 3 Drawer Wood Chest

Description :
This antique three-drawer dresser features a solid wood cabinet base paired with a removable white marble top. The marble slab measures 49" wide by 20 ½" deep and sits separately from the cabinet, allowing for easier transport and installation. The cabinet base measures 47 ¾" W x 20" D x 24 ¾" H. The drawers showcase decorative panels with keyhole escutcheons, and the interior drawers display traditional joinery. Visible wear, missing hardware, and surface inconsistencies reflect age and use, making this a strong candidate for restoration or repurposing. The substantial marble top adds durability and classic appeal, suitable for use as a dresser, sideboard, or bathroom vanity conversion. Please note that the cabinet needs the hardware tightened up and may need additional reinforcement.
