I inherited these dressers and was wondering what they would be worth? They are stamped with the word Dixie on the back of both of them.
Thank you.

Hi and thanks for sharing! Do you know if these are the original handles and that this is the original color? I ask because the pulls look more like what came on the brown furniture than the white.
Typically the white (more cream actually) French Providential style of this brand had very ornate handles that looked like wrought iron. Those handles were very important to that look and it what buyers want.
If the piece was painted or these are not the original handles it may devalue the piece--as people are willing to pay more for all original and in great shape.
If yours were the brown pieces which had these type handles, the dresser and high boy together would be worth almost $400 in original condition.*
If yours were original white color, with the correct handles, they would be worth slightly less--probably in the $300 range together.*
*this is if you are in one of the parts of the country where this style is still very popular--like the east coast of the US. In other parts of the country, these are not as popular and may fetch less.
Also condition is everything and yours look like they may have some light wear, which will also lower the value.
If you are going to sell, best talk to a reputable furniture resale shop in your town to find out what would be a realistic value where you live! Thanks for sharing!
They have never been painted, And the elderly lady who gave them to bought them with those handles.
Thanks for posting back! That is good that everything is original. I previously haven't seen every piece this brand made so I had to ask. It is good news that it is the original paint and handles!
I have the same set, same color, same knobs. Mine has rose decals on the top drawers and headboards.
I have a 7 drawer lowboy Dixie dresser that matches yours; color, drawer pulls & etc.

They seem to have retained their value, with asking prices $300 and up. www.ebay.com/
