I have a piece of furniture that I wanted to know it’s age. It was given to me by an elderly lady who said it belonged to her mom.

I went to allexperts.com and this is what he said:
Frankie – The drawer construction is the key. The type of joinery which uses the “scallop and peg” or “scallop and dowel” in known as “Knapp” joinery named after the man who invented the machine that made those joints. He patented the machinery in 1870 and sold the rights to an investor group who put it into use in a factory in Massachusetts in 1871. It was in use until about 1905 when it was replaced by the machine made dovetail joint. Your dresser was made in that 35 year period.

The style of your dresser is probably either Rococo Revival or Eastlake. The wood will be walnut.

I have now determined it is the Eastlake style after looking up what that meant. lol

I like that it didn’t cost me anything and now I have more information about it.
