what style and period are these dressers?

15 years ago

and, more generally, what's the best way to educate myself about antique furniture?

I posted these in the Decorating forum, my usual haunt, and someone there suggested that beveled mirrors dated the pieces differently from the owner's claim (i.e., they aren't as old as she thinks they are). How would I go about verifying that? I'm just curious.

By the way, does the price strike you as high? I found a piece comparable to the smaller dresser on Ebay for $500, so I'm thinking the owner is being hopeful rather than realistic. But I'm interested to hear opinions here.

Here is a link that might be useful: antique dressers: empire?
