Tall Campaign Dresser For Sale on 1stDibs

Find many varieties of an authentic tall campaign dresser available at 1stDibs. A tall campaign dresser — often made from wood, metal and brass — can elevate any home. There are many kinds of the tall campaign dresser you’re looking for, from those produced as long ago as the 19th Century to those made as recently as the 20th Century. A tall campaign dresser, designed in the Mid-Century Modern or Hollywood Regency style, is generally a popular piece of furniture. Many designers have produced at least one well-made tall campaign dresser over the years, but those crafted by American of Martinsville, Baker Furniture Company and Bernhardt are often thought to be among the most beautiful.

How Much is a Tall Campaign Dresser?

A tall campaign dresser can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $3,000, while the lowest priced sells for $850 and the highest can go for as much as $8,900.

Finding the Right Dressers for You

Antique, new and vintage dressers are a staple in any household. Whether it’s a 19th-century solid pine or oak Welsh kitchen dresser you’re using to store tableware or a Broyhill Brasilia highboy in your bedroom, these furniture fixtures are essential for making the most of your space.

The first step in finding the perfect dresser is considering your particular needs. Most tall dressers offer anywhere from five to seven drawers, essentially allowing for the organization of an entire wardrobe, while shorter, waist-height dresser varieties can be equipped with a convenient vanity mirror.

highboy dresser is usually around six feet tall, with some versions standing even taller at seven feet or so. Highboys, which began to appear with frequency during the early 17th century in England, are essentially very tall dressers with lots of drawers, whereas a lowboy is a different type of storage furniture in that it's a dressing table with one or two rows of drawers. 

When shopping for your antique or vintage dresser, consider those that bear the hallmarks of solid construction. Good furniture means making an investment, and solid hardwood pieces of maple, walnut or cherry will prove far more durable than a bedroom dresser made of particleboard.

If you’re looking for a mid-century modern case piece that boasts a subdued pairing of wood grains and uncomplicated drawer pulls, browse elegant dressers designed by Florence Knoll, Harvey Probber, Paul McCobb and other furniture makers associated with the celebrated style on 1stDibs. 

Dressers characterized by bolder designs are also popular: Not only will your new piece of furniture be a storage solution, but it'll also make a statement.

Art Deco furniture makers preferred to work with dark woods and typically incorporated decorative embellishments. An ornately carved French or Italian Art Deco dresser complete with vanity mirror and cabriole scrolled feet might better complement the other pieces in your home. Alternatively, if you favor sumptuous antique furniture with curving lines and floral flourishes, the collection on 1stDibs also includes sophisticated 1800s-era Victorian walnut dressers and washstands with marble tops.

After all, a good case piece isn’t merely for minimizing clutter in your space. The style of your chosen dresser and its specific attributes should add something to your decor and your home. Modern creations include one-of-a-kind shapes, like the venturesome chests of drawers in leather, marble and wood crafted by the likes of Roberto Cavalli.

Explore a broad array of antique and vintage dressers today on 1stDibs.

    A tall narrow dresser is also likely called a chest of drawers. Standard chests of drawers are tall and narrow. So, what makes a chest of drawers different from a common dresser?
