Painted Cottage Dressers
Dressers that are considered Cottage Dressers usually were made of walnut with veneer or mahogany. It was common to see them with attached mirrors that were on stanchions. These sets were commonly sold in catalogs such as Sears or in local furniture stores. This type of furniture was considered inexpensive and affordable for the normal household. We now find them irresistibly charming to use as Painted Cottage Furniture because of their romantic lines and durability.
