This is an antique, American 19th century, Victorian era, about 1870's, dresser, or chest of drawers with ebonized hanging drawer pulls. It has been decoupaged with Italian Florentine marbled paper and also hand painted.
The Victorian furniture market is currently slumped. Pieces, even the original period pieces, do not sell for what they used to sell for a few decades ago. The market was further impacted by the Recession.
