Value of Murphy Dresser?

May 2, 2022

Anyone know what this could be worth? I'm in Texas, if that matters. Both items seem to be in solid condition. On the back of the dresser, it says Murphy 4201.

Murphy is not a well-known brand of furniture and this will make it difficult to provide any type of true value.
It would be unusual to find more than a few pieces listed for sale and probably none that have sold in the past several months - even years.
When asking questions it is always best to include several pictures as most listings will not have the numbers posted.

Where you are located will have a big bearing on your final value as furniture is very expensive to ship so it is usually listed as 'local pick up only'.
How do people feel about cedar furniture in your area?
See any listed for sale on Craigslist or Facebook marketplace (your area)?

You might try listing your pieces on those sites with a starting price of $200-$250 each and let people make offers to see what happens.

leave posted for several weeks and if no offers then reduce the price and wait again.

I found a question about Murphy 4201 www.myantiquefurniturecollection.../i-have-an-entire-bedroom-set-of-cedar...
There is a photo of Murthy 4201 dresser.
Your dresser is from a Bedroom Set Of Cedar Furniture.
Murthy 4201 dresser looks like a dresser in this question 'Value of 1940s Murphy Cedar Bedroom Furniture?'

I think the price is about $250-300.

A bit difficult to determine w/o a photo...but you may be able to get $200, depending on the condition. This site offers free appraisals:

I can't find the Murphy dresser price anywhere, but I saw this beautiful Armoire sold.

Dresser would be less, but depends on your condition too and targeted interest to purchase.
