This is a nice piece of pre-Civil War mahogany Empire furniture from a plantation near Plymouth, North Carolina. The furniture was pulled from the original house after General Sherman's troops (or followers) set fire to the house. A great deal of fighting took place during the Civil War in and around Plymouth.

The dresser is 52" high x 36" wide x 22 deep. There are a few places with chipped veneer on the dresser. All drawer bottoms are similar in appearance and show the hand planing as seen in the photo. All knobs and hardware are in place and intact.

Damage on the dresser includes: split at top rear of the side of dresser that is about 5 inches long; the dresser side is one solid piece of wood; small pieces of missing veneer on drawer fronts. The furniture is located about 30 minutes west of Houston. The furniture can be picked up. There are other pieces of Empire furniture from the same home offered in separate listings and include: a 4-poster bed, vanity and two drop-leaf work tables.
