I am curious about the style of this dresser and the time period it is from. It has one very slim drawer and was wondering what it's purpose is?
Thanks.

Neat chest - Hooker Bassett made a lot of ornate furniture - very unusual in some cases.
I'm not sure but I believe your style chest may have also been called a 'gentleman's' chest and the thin drawer was for jewelry. I believe the lady's chest had a jewelry box on top.
You may be able to gather some information if you ask for a free appraisal from one of the sites listed on the internet.
The ones I use will not usually give an appraisal unless it is valued at over $500 (no problem there) and you state that you are looking to sell as these are famous auction houses and they want the business.

Here is a good blog site about the Hooker Basset company who has been in business for 86 years. This is an excellent place to start to find out about the history of the company and the furniture they make.
I was awaiting information from the furniture business and was told they could not locate it in their book(s), but it appears to be a 1940s piece and the small drawer is for jewelry.
Thanks. I didnt know what that little drawer could be for.
