Hello all, I recently bought this Bassett chest of drawers and I'm trying everywhere online and cant find one like it. I was wondering if you could help me identify what year it could have been made and what it might be worth. Thank you

In order to help identify the year, it was made would require you to give us some information that is normally on the back of the dresser. There normally is a set of numbers that will tell us how to look up the date it was made. They are a string of numbers that identify the year and the factory it was made in. Can you take a photo and post it here.
If you can't find this information the next step would be to contact Bassett directly because they are still in business. They will be able to tell you the year and type of wood this is made from and if they have a name for this item they can give this to you tool.
As for pricing and how much the dresser is worth this greatly depends on your area. A lot of people will give this type of furniture to a consignment shop which will try to sell it in their shop or online. The prices are very expensive and normally start around 500-2500 dollars for such an item. Considering your dresser is sculpted and not the plain ones that we see so much it could be worth even more or would bring in a much higher price. I have checked the normal sites that sell this type of furniture and you are correct they don't have anything like this there.
If you try to sell this locally in your area the price is determined by where you live. In some areas, this furniture is highly sought after and people are willing to pay a high price for this dresser. Where in other areas the dresser is not a good seller and most people are not willing to pay more than $50-100 for such a dresser. You will have to do some research in your area and look around to see what people are asking for this type of furniture in order to determine the price in your area.
I am not able to locate the exact pattern. Is this 4 drawers?
At first blush it appears to be 1970s Spanish Revival/Mediterranean style piece...but something about it is odd to me and I can't place why.
Can you show the Bassett mark on it? Is it on the back or in one of the drawers?
Can you give the dimensions of the piece please?
Maybe with a little more info, I can tell you more! Thanks!
Sorry it has taken so long to reply. It is a 5 chest drawer
Hi did you ever find anything out about this dresser? I have a friend who is currently wondering the same thing about the same piece she found recently.
This piece is very unique, The carvings are great. Although I had the same experience in not finding the exact one. The best is it still holds value in the $100's .
