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.

Works perfectly. No more multiple steps clutter.
Under our entertainment unit we have 9 separate plugs and we want the electronics on a surge protector. I had used the 6-socket surge protectors I had on hand and ended up having to use 3 strips to plug in my 9 components because some of the plugs were bulky and covered more than one plug. It was a mess. This solves the problem. The way the 2 sockets on this strip are offset from the rest, I was able to plug in my bulky plugs without covering any extra plugs so I ended up with 9 more sockets than I needed, but I would rather have too many sockets than not enough. Before plugging in my components I checked each and every socket on this power strip and all 18 sockets work perfectly. Also, I had no problems getting my plugs to fit, unlike some of the reviewers who complained about the sockets being too tight. The power strip is light weight, but it seems well-made and sturdy. I like the 8-foot cord length which made it easy for me to position the power strip where I wanted it. A 6-foot cord would have been a little short.

It's a 7'cord Not a True 8' cord
It's a 7 ft cord the 8 ft they count is the actual plug unit which if you add that totals 8 ft at the very end of the plug unit. Again to clarify the cord only is 7 ft only. The USB ports are not that fast charging I still had to put my fast charger into one of the plug slots not the USB slot and charge my phone off of a plug. The USB would be satisfactory for things that just sit around on the desk. The overall size of the plug unit and the number of plug ports and USB ports is good for my needs for the price that they asked. It came shipped well packaged and on time. I think that overall it's worth the price if you keep the above things in mind that the cord itself is only 7 ft and the USB ports do not fast charge to the same degree that a fast charging USB plug unit would make your device rapid charge. Personally I feel that saying that the cord is 8 ft when it's only 7 ft and trying to include the plug unit into the length of the cord which by name they are totally different things is misleading and a false advertisement on the part of the seller or any seller that does their ad to the customer's disadvantage or misinformation. I was really counting on the cord being a true 8-ft not including the plug unit. That's how I measured according to my needs and it wasn't a true 8 ft cord.

Plug and play
Lots of plugs, USB plugs, and lots of room for plugs. What more could you ask for? This works great. Like everyone else I feel like everything is electronic anymore. Our house was built in the 70’s so our plug to room ratio isn’t so high. These are great to help with all of the items that need power. Great price, design and works great!

Finding a good plug strip without blasted usb ports
It was surprisingly difficult to find a good plug strip that did NOT have USB ports. The last thing I want on a plug strip that I'm going to stuff behind a bunch of monitors are usb port electronics that might die after a few years. I get my usb power ports from an Anker that I can situate on the desk. So, A+ ... this plugstrip has no USB ports! Yahhhh! That and other things I liked about it: * Yippee! A plug strip that doesn't waste space adding USB power ports that I will never use. * Very good plug layout. With all the adapters and misc plug types I needed to plug in, I thought that I might waste too many sockets with covering cords or adapter plastic. But it turned out that I was able to arrange all the plugs and adapters with very little 'wastage'. * Having two orientations in the design made a much bigger difference than I thought it would. Kudos! * And spacing out a few of the plugs also made a huge positive difference, reducing covering wastage from those odd-ball adapters that just like to take up a lot of space. The only thing I can dock this strip for is that I gave it four stars for sturdiness, simply because sometimes a plug would 'catch' on something inside the strip if I didn't push it in exactly straight. Not a big deal really, so I gotta give this guy 5 stars overall. -Matt
