With our absolute highest compliments Bay Colony Antiques takes the utmost pleasure in offering this remarkable and important late 19th century Victorian era marble top dresser. This example is perhaps one of the finest dressers of its kind ever produced in the New York City area and it worthy of being represented in any important collection or institution which has a focus on exemplary late 19th century furniture and decorative arts. The dresser has remained in near pristine condition throughout generations of ownership and is as magnificent as the day it was made. It has been our privilege throughout decades of business to furnish Victorian homes throughout the country; from our local communities in New England to as far away as Louisiana, Texas, and California. For this reason, we always include choice offerings in our online antique catalogues of premium Victorian furniture for every room in the home. In our continual pursuits of the finest grades of Victorian furniture, either offered on the antiques market or exclusively in private collections, we have come to greatly admire the work of one particular artisan, Thomas Brooks of New York City. We distinguish the Thomas Brooks of New York City from another furniture maker of the same name active in the production of Victorian era furniture who was located in Connecticut. We have offered the later Thomas Brooks furniture as we have found it, primarily identified by paper labels inside the case of furniture or so attributed by nearly identical examples we have found unlabeled yet so close in design to known examples as to be unquestionably produced by the same maker. Recently we had a Victorian Sow Belly Parlor Table with a drawer accessible from either side of the table which went to a wonderful collection in New England that was a product of the Connecticut maker. It is unclear to us if there is a familiar connection between the two furniture makers or if by coincidence they both have the same name. We do feel the importance of signifying the difference between both cabinetmakers as to not confuse those who are unfamiliar with either party and are relying on search engines to gather more insight.

Thomas Brooks of New York City was perhaps one of the finest furniture makers of the late 19th century and is largely overshadowed by the better-known Victorian period designers such as R.J. Horner, John Henry Belter, & Joseph Meeks just to name a few. In the recent decades a stronger following for Brooks' works has emerged with examples selling at auction for commanding prices. We are actively in pursuit of anything possibly made by his firm as we feel it has remained undervalued for a long period of time and will retain its value or appreciate better compared to the famous workshops that produced furniture which is far out of reach of ordinary antique collectors. In our experience most of the works produced by Thomas Brooks is unlabeled but can be attributed through quality comparison and certain stylistic elements which are a common thread on his workshop's walnut furnishings. Two features we always search out are raised double ended tombstone panels in burled walnut affixed to the front of drawers and a particular stylized walnut leaf carving generally used as an ornament on various places throughout the exterior.


This dresser is primarily walnut with burled walnut veneers used to provide contrast on accent panels on the drawer faces and along the frame. The dresser is constructed with a drop well configuration which features three individual marble tablets that all original. Four smaller drawers are housed above two long drawers each of which is fitted with an ebonized drop pull with Eastlake brass stylizations. The sides are constructed with a frame and panel which allows for continual wood movement as the dresser experiences seasonal changes in relative humidity and the dresser features a well pronounced baseboard molding. This dresser is made complete by the presence of a commanding mirror which is enhanced with candle cup accents and interesting shell carved motifs. The architectural form of the mirror crest is further embellished with angelic wings which are clearly the product of a master carver likely in the employment of Thomas Brooks. The entire piece is sturdy and will provide the next owner with generations of continual use and is well suited for daily use. This dresser is equal parts functional furniture as it is an artistic achievement in the medium of walnut with the finest carving work and overall mastery of aesthetic design that a collector can hope to find from any work of the late 19th century. The dresser measures 54" wide x 20" deep x 91" tall to the very top center of the mirror. The marble ends measure 33 3/4" tall off the floor.

Great pepper grinder
Color: Clear Glass, Size: 1pk
I had to replace the pepper grinder I had for many years and found this one on Amazon. I'm not sure if it is the same brand but it looks just about the same as the one I had. It works the same and I really like the glass container and the adjustable grinder. It works great!

Stylish, Reliable Grinders That Work Great Every Day
Color: Clear Glass, Size: 2pk
I purchased the Home EC stainless steel salt and pepper grinder set to replace an older mismatched pair, and these have been a solid upgrade for everyday kitchen use. They look clean and modern on the countertop and perform consistently whether I’m cooking or seasoning at the table. The adjustable ceramic grinders make it easy to switch between fine and coarse settings, which is especially useful when cooking different types of meals. ✅ Pros Solid stainless steel construction – feels sturdy and well made Adjustable ceramic grinding mechanism – easy to fine‑tune grind size Smooth, consistent grinding – no sticking or uneven output Clear window to see contents – helps avoid running out unexpectedly Comfortable to hold – good size and weight for regular use ❌ Cons Manual grinding only – not ideal if you prefer electric grinders Refilling requires removing the top – simple, but not spill‑proof No labeling included – easy to mix up salt and pepper if you use similar grains ⚠️ Things to Consider Before Buying Works best with dry sea salt and whole peppercorns Ceramic grinders are durable but should not be washed in the dishwasher If you cook in large quantities often, you may prefer a larger capacity grinder 👍 Reasons to Buy Practical and attractive addition to any kitchen or dining table Adjustable grind makes them versatile for cooking and finishing dishes Durable enough for daily use without feeling bulky Good value for a matching set, and you can often find a better price on Amazon compared to kitchen stores ✅ Final Thoughts Overall, the Home EC Premium Stainless Steel Salt and Pepper Grinder Set offers a nice balance of style, durability, and functionality. If you’re looking for dependable manual grinders with adjustable settings for everyday use, this set is a great choice. — Reviewed after regular home kitchen use

Practical and elegant grinder for daily use
Color: Silver single
I bought this manual salt and pepper grinder and in general I thought it was a very good option for the kitchen. The design is elegant and the glass body allows you to easily see when it is time to refill it. In addition, the stainless steel lid helps keep the spices fresh and prevents residues from falling on the table. The ceramic blades grind both coarse salt and pepper well, and I liked that the thickness can be adjusted according to what you need, from a fine grind to a thicker one. It is also easy to recharge and clean. After several uses it works properly and feels resistant for daily use.

Hand size mighty grinder
Color: Silver single
Hi- I think this is a good grinder although to this point I ground about 2/3 of the glass chamber full of a good quality peppercorn. I like a coarse grind and this device gives that grind consistently. I like the cover and it's fit. The overall look is pleasing and think it's a good bang for the buck. It's easy to use and adjusts to your personal needs or wants. If your debating this device and am worried if you'll get years of use I know I don't force it but rather learn to allow the tool to do the work. I think it will last me for quite a while and even if I have to replace it once a year it's a well built unit that you can enjoy using. If you have arthritic hands and use this for hard products like fresh peppercorns or coarse Himalayan salt then treat yourself to a good rechargeable grinder (or better yet ask your children to get you one for all the great meals you make for them & have made for them !) Thanks for the read. I hope this helps. Greybeard
