Meet "Lila". She was made by the AC Norquist company in Jamestown, NY. The company was founded in 1881 by a father and his four sons that came to the US from Sweden. Their original name was Nord but they were advised by their minister to add "quist" to the end.
Lila is hand painted in shades of deep purple with black added to the top with floral and typeography accents. She has two small drawers on the top with one large, spacious drawer beneath. Her gorgeous handles are original and have been cleaned with some gilding wax added. She is wearing her original wooden casters and they roll great.
The mirror is not original to the piece, but is from the same era and the shape and style go perfectly with this dresser. It is not attached, but could be screwed in. It could also be hung on the wall at any height. The mirror is heavy and antique and shows its character in a few places.
Lila measures 48" wide x 18" deep x 27.5" tall. The mirror itself is 45" tall x 26.5" wide at its widest point.
