The use of antique bedroom dressers has been known to mankind ever since furniture made its appearance as an inevitable part of the civilization. While the furniture used by the cavemen was mostly primitive and utilitarian, that used by the medieval ages onwards possessed a charm and quality which is appreciated and marveled even today.

The medieval period lasted from the 5^th till the 16^th century and oak was the wood used to construct sturdy and oversized bedroom dressers featuring simple adornments. The significance of the furniture of this era lies in the fact that most of it was an outcome of tree trunks of oak trees since this was most readily available material and had long lasting properties due to which it is being used even today.

This was followed by the Renaissance period between the 14^th and 17^th centuries when it became fashionable for the bedroom dressers to be engraved and adorned with patterns and decorated with accessories like gems and stones. The antique furniture belonging to this era is regarded as belonging to the class of architectural masterpieces and works of artistic creativity.

Antique bedroom dressers during Queen Victoria’s reign from 1837 to 1901 were made from mahogany and walnut and were characterized by excessive curvature and dark polishes. It is during this era that marble dressers also made their appearance and floral designs and complicated patterns were the order of the day.
