Dressers

were first used to store king’s personal items. Many were built specifically for each king’s needs.

During the 17th century as rooms become more popular the dressers become more common.

In the 18th century, dressers started to be used as a store all piece, and also a mirror was commonly found on

top. Later the dresser was enclosed with drawers and doors for storing clothes and often intimate items because

of its locking function.
