This unique dresser is a somewhat traditional-meets-mid-century sleek design by Ballman Cummings of Fort Smith, AR. It measures 42 x 18 x 64 and includes a removable square mirror. Made of solid wood with dovetail joints and impeccable craftsmanship, it has three smooth sliding large deep drawers. The original glass top has some minor inner chipping on one corner but is in otherwise good condition. The handle on the bottom drawer needs to be tightened. The dresser has a few scuffs and scratches near the bottom. 

Ballman Cummings was a leader in the 19th-century rise and status of the furniture manufacturing proliferation of Fort Smith, Arkansas, and includes a rich history as a rewarding midwestern success story. Vintage Ballman Cummings pieces are often sought after by collectors due to their design quality.

The printed label reads, "Better Made by Ballman Cummings Fort Smith ARK"
