can anyone confirm that this is drexel there are no markings to be found anywhere, it is solid oak i think, all the drexel pieces i have seen have white handles and these are oak, could it be drexel inspired?

Declaration line?
Your piece is very consistent with the Drexel Declaration line. You are correct the white pulls are common with this piece, however they may have just been changed out.....

I'm surprised that a mark
is not somewhere inside one of the drawers. The Drexel branding stamp.
Nice dresser...
But the paintings are fantastic. I did some searching. Wonderful work.

I live about 100
miles from their factory and Drexel stuff shows up at every auction in abundance. All of their stuff is stamped inside and stenciled on the back with name of the "line" and the month/date. If there are no markings whatsoever, I doubt it's Drexel. It looks vaguely Shaker-esque to me. Maybe a product of more northern manufacturer, i.e. VA or PA?
