This piece is a tall antique dresser (sometimes referred to as a highboy or chest of drawers) that combines both black-painted and warm-brown wood surfaces. The dresser’s frame (including the top, sides, and corner posts) is painted black, while the drawer faces retain a brown or reddish-brown wood tone, creating a dramatic two-tone effect. The top edge has a small, shaped backboard or crest in black, lending a bit of Victorian-style flair.

The upper drawer is rectangular, with black knobs and a subtle beveled edge. On either side, there are small gold-tone, scroll-shaped accents that stand out against the black paint. Below, a larger drawer shows its curved, carved trim along the upper edge. The center of this drawer has a two-tone veneer pattern. The lower drawers also feature black decorative pulls that look like ornate escutcheons with round pulls at the center. Some have softly curved, inlaid lines or shapes in the veneer.

The dresser stands on turned, black-painted legs in front, with a short apron or skirt at the bottom center featuring a round wood medallion or knob.

Overall, this dresser has a traditional, somewhat ornate style—mixing dark paint, carved details, decorative gold scrolls, and warm wood veneer for an eye-catching vintage look.
