I have recently acquired an oak dresser that once belonged to my great grandma and was wondering if anyone could give me information about it or any matching pieces (especially the bed)

Hi..I feel your dresser is from the early part of the 1900s referred to as the golden oak period. It is American made and probably mid-west in origin. Tiger oak was often used to veneer the drawer fronts and the carving was applied with glue. Pieces from this period are quite easy to find, but matching pieces will be difficult. The market is currently soft for these pieces so it is a good time to finish your bedroom.
