With our absolute highest compliments Bay Colony Antiques takes the utmost pleasure in offering this remarkable and important late 19th century Victorian era marble top dresser. This example is perhaps one of the finest dressers of its kind ever produced in the New York City area and it worthy of being represented in any important collection or institution which has a focus on exemplary late 19th century furniture and decorative arts. The dresser has remained in near pristine condition throughout generations of ownership and is as magnificent as the day it was made. It has been our privilege throughout decades of business to furnish Victorian homes throughout the country; from our local communities in New England to as far away as Louisiana, Texas, and California. For this reason, we always include choice offerings in our online antique catalogues of premium Victorian furniture for every room in the home. In our continual pursuits of the finest grades of Victorian furniture, either offered on the antiques market or exclusively in private collections, we have come to greatly admire the work of one particular artisan, Thomas Brooks of New York City. We distinguish the Thomas Brooks of New York City from another furniture maker of the same name active in the production of Victorian era furniture who was located in Connecticut. We have offered the later Thomas Brooks furniture as we have found it, primarily identified by paper labels inside the case of furniture or so attributed by nearly identical examples we have found unlabeled yet so close in design to known examples as to be unquestionably produced by the same maker. Recently we had a Victorian Sow Belly Parlor Table with a drawer accessible from either side of the table which went to a wonderful collection in New England that was a product of the Connecticut maker. It is unclear to us if there is a familiar connection between the two furniture makers or if by coincidence they both have the same name. We do feel the importance of signifying the difference between both cabinetmakers as to not confuse those who are unfamiliar with either party and are relying on search engines to gather more insight.

Thomas Brooks of New York City was perhaps one of the finest furniture makers of the late 19th century and is largely overshadowed by the better-known Victorian period designers such as R.J. Horner, John Henry Belter, & Joseph Meeks just to name a few. In the recent decades a stronger following for Brooks' works has emerged with examples selling at auction for commanding prices. We are actively in pursuit of anything possibly made by his firm as we feel it has remained undervalued for a long period of time and will retain its value or appreciate better compared to the famous workshops that produced furniture which is far out of reach of ordinary antique collectors. In our experience most of the works produced by Thomas Brooks is unlabeled but can be attributed through quality comparison and certain stylistic elements which are a common thread on his workshop's walnut furnishings. Two features we always search out are raised double ended tombstone panels in burled walnut affixed to the front of drawers and a particular stylized walnut leaf carving generally used as an ornament on various places throughout the exterior.


This dresser is primarily walnut with burled walnut veneers used to provide contrast on accent panels on the drawer faces and along the frame. The dresser is constructed with a drop well configuration which features three individual marble tablets that all original. Four smaller drawers are housed above two long drawers each of which is fitted with an ebonized drop pull with Eastlake brass stylizations. The sides are constructed with a frame and panel which allows for continual wood movement as the dresser experiences seasonal changes in relative humidity and the dresser features a well pronounced baseboard molding. This dresser is made complete by the presence of a commanding mirror which is enhanced with candle cup accents and interesting shell carved motifs. The architectural form of the mirror crest is further embellished with angelic wings which are clearly the product of a master carver likely in the employment of Thomas Brooks. The entire piece is sturdy and will provide the next owner with generations of continual use and is well suited for daily use. This dresser is equal parts functional furniture as it is an artistic achievement in the medium of walnut with the finest carving work and overall mastery of aesthetic design that a collector can hope to find from any work of the late 19th century. The dresser measures 54" wide x 20" deep x 91" tall to the very top center of the mirror. The marble ends measure 33 3/4" tall off the floor.

Amazing product
I have just purchased my 7th jar! I absolutely love this product...and its American made! It leaves my skin soft, radiant and glowing! I didn't tell anyone about using it and people started asking me what I was doing differently. I get complements about my youthful glow! This company makes an amazing product and I hope that it will always be available! I have friends and family members hooked on it now. My mom just dropped a stocking stuffer hint to me tonight for another jar!

Legit balm. Not whipped. Made in USA.
Legit tallow balm. Not whipped. I love this stuff. It's the only thing that soothes, softens, and relieves my dry skin in the winter. Also made in USA, which is a priority for me.

Great winter moisturizer! Not greasy & absorbs well!
I needed a moisturizer that would last in colder weather. My skin is oily/normal and works well with my other facial products. I strictly use The Ordinary products and add this at the end to seal in the moisture. Pretty surprised how quickly this absorbed in to my skin. Has no scent and melts quickly on finger tips. I use it on my face and heels of my feet. Honestly love this addition to my fall/winter skincare routine. A little goes a long way! I have been using for a month now with great results. Definitely a great buy!

Great product if you can actually use it
Of the 4 orders I've placed for this lotion, only 2 have come perfectly. One of them came leaking tallow out of the container and package, and then it's replacement arrived with the jar completely shattered. The tallow itself is so hydrating and smells great, but if the company itself needs to fix it's packaging.

May need to transfer to a different jar since the lids break
I am very happy with the product but a little bothered by the packaging. The lid is cracked and doesn't stay on. The fragrance isn't what I expected, but it is pleasant and a comforting smell.
