Depression Era 1930's

Absolutely beautiful! I've never seen a dresser quite like it, but the vanity 'style' is a bit more 'common', although with the parquetry, something i've not seen before either. I also think 30's or 40's. While the handles are Federal style, I wouldn't consider the furniture itself necessarily so.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. Any one care to venture what the finish might be? Best way to take care of it?

There's definitely some Tiger Maple on the drawer fronts, but I'm not sure about the sides and some of the other areas. Maybe Honey Maple.

Oh thanks so much!

Hi,
that's satinwood, not tiger maple. I'll lay odds the finish is lacquer.

sombreuil, have never seen or heard of satinwood, and the first thing that came to my mind was the Tiger Maple? How can you be so sure? They look so similar, but is there something distinctive about the satinwood? Maybe the period of the piece? Thanks for the education. ;o)

Look at some photos courtesy of Google Images.
The waterfall style was often rendered in satinwood veneer, and others. This set, not exactly waterfall style, is from the same era and probably same factories.

Thanks. I appreciate the responses. Any thoughts on the wood type on the wardrobe in the other thread?

Thanks!
