This is a beautiful piece, but I would need a lot more info to help you figure out what it is.

Antique means over 100 years old and gut feeling says it is more of a late 1930s or early 1940s piece if it is an original and not a reproduction. I am basing that only on what I can see which are the handles and the little casters.

Are the drawers dovetail or nailed, glued, screwed together? That would help date it.

Is the mirror beveled or smooth?

As for what it is...There is almost a custom or hand made look to this with the unusual design around the mirror. This has me so curious.

I am not convinced it is a dresser. It feels (to me) more like a sideboard. Dressers usually go to the floor to maximize storage. This does not.

You may be best served taking it to an antique dealer and getting his/her guidance on what it is and the value of it where you are.

Please post back with more info and if you do talk to a pro first, what he/she says.

Thanks for sharing it!! It is stunning!

Look for markings underneath, behind or inside the drawers. Without identifying markings it will be difficult to determine the age or the value.
