Loving : Antique Dressers w/ Round Wooden Knobs

I'm not sure if these have an official antique name (Georgian?). But lately I've been loving antique dressers with big round wooden knobs.

While I prefer the traditional wood stain, here is a painted version from Cottage Living:



This is not a dresser, but a similar style:

You know I'll be searching Craigslist for one!

    Oh, I have a dresser just like you've featured. My mom bought it for me at an antique shop about 18 years ago, so who knows how old it is. I love it.

    My mom has one of these around her house from my grandparents, and after seeing these pictures, I'm going to have to convince her to give it to me!

    Love this Bryn! Especially that last image... it would look great as a bar cart (keep your eye out for one with turned legs like the last one for me) for a new barcart!

    Good EYE! I love a very tiny pull or one that is substantial. These totally fit the bill!

    Big knobs have been catching my eye lately too! I had planned to add them to the antique dresser I bought to use as my husband's bedside table but the piece is a little curvy and has a slightly french feel to it so I'm thinking that's just not going to work this time. Maybe the next piece though!
