![]() Unlike many old-fashioned dressers that require paint to feel 21st century-ready, Federalist dressers’ smooth, dark, finishes require no overhauling. If you’re looking for a vintage or used dresser that has old-world gusto but will blend seamlessly with contemporary bedroom standbys - like upholstered beds - a Federal dresser is an extraordinary option.Ī broad term used to identify a style of furniture that emerged after the Revolutionary War, “Federal” furniture is generally defined by its dark wood finishes, straight legs, curved fronts and oval drawer pulls.
