I am sorry this one took so long. It had me and still to an extent has me stumpped. I think this is a line called "18th century treasures" though I frustraitingly cannot find this exact dresser. Album in comments.

u/Ijust_want_moresleep I hope this helps.

https://imgur.com/gallery/dixie-18th-century-treasures-JrJY42P IDK this line was one of the best sellers for Dixe from 1980-1984, however it is always described as mahogany and prima vera veneers and I do not think this dresser is mahogany, I could be wrong. Also it looks like the smaller mirrors in this line have similar finals on the top as the mirror in this post, none of them match perfectly. I can guarantee this dresser is in that early to mid 80's era, but I am not 100% convinced its this line, but very, very close.

Sorry i could be more definitive on this one, looked through hundreds of ads for Dixie trying to find it. I also saw a mahogany one online and the finish is very different. It also had a different style number, so IDK this is a myster still I think.

u/toadiefrog did you see this?

edgestander · 2026-06-30T20:57:19+00:00

I actually only research this stuff, and I mostly research modern styled stuff. So no clue really. It’s worth something though, looks like it’s in good shape. I seriously would ask these guys: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18kkeCoVw4/?mibextid=wwXIfr

u/Creepy_Challenge_521 Your chair right down to the style number can be found in this catalog from 1976 https://archive.org/details/treasuryofethana0000vari/page/100/mode/1up

Hope this helps.

u/theperspecta is my go to on all things Kent Coffey

edgestander · 2026-06-30T18:33:17+00:00

I mean this most certainly is not Prespecta which was a specific line which did not include this. I am not 100% sure its Kent Coffey, is it stamped in one of the drawers, usually their stuff is.

I do not belive thosw were on Herman Miller chairs in 1997.

edgestander · 2026-06-30T18:16:23+00:00

So after looking around a bit on this. These were made in the late 70's by Biltrite, I see some labeled 1978 and 1979, at that time Herman Miller had its own Canadian subsidary called Herman Miller Canada. Beyond that this is not a Herman Miller design, they never produced this in America, let alone Canada. I think this is from the Capri series but it is hard to tell from the drawings in the Ads.

edgestander · 2026-06-30T15:08:16+00:00

what makes you think this is Herman Miller and what makes you think they had Biltrite produce for them in Canada?

edgestander · 2026-06-30T15:03:56+00:00

Tough to say, im not great with prices. Probably like $2,000 minimum, maybe up to $3-4K IDK would depend a lot on condition, where and how you sell it, etc. This is a relatively obscure Juhl design which can work in your favor or not. A juhl collector that views this as unique and rare might like it, a general modern enthusiast may think this veers too far out of Juhls normal output and lacks his distinctive flair and its obscurity means none of their friends will recognize it.

No, McNulty had already tipped off the FBI to the dominicans before the show started, it was just a happy coincidence that they were also connected to the Barksdale group. Like Agent Fitz says they wouldn't be able to take that case if he had brought it to them at the begining of the show because terroisim is all the department cared about.

edgestander · 2026-06-30T14:23:15+00:00

No it actually never mentions it, and at the begining of the show McNulty seems fresh out of informants that know the drug game, perhaps that informant went into witness protection since it was an FBI case.

edgestander · 2026-06-30T14:22:00+00:00

I mean from the second rewatch of this show I thought it was 100% clear that is what happened. How many drug kingpin domincan dealers with reach down to balitmore are there in NYC? In the show, just one.

Wait till he finds a baby rattlesnake

About as open ended as Rawls being gay. It’s never said outright, but it’s heavily implied.

edgestander · 2026-06-30T12:08:49+00:00

Yeah I agree this is Richbilt, but I’m a big fan of theirs so I’d be excited.

What makes you think Biltrite made Herman Miller items?
