How to Identify a Lane Dresser

John Lane and his son, Ed Lane, started making cedar chests back in 1912. They expanded to tables, dressers and other casegoods in the 1950s. Today, their company is known as Lane Home Furnishings. With the quality of materials and designs used to create Lane dressers, it is likely you could find one that is more than 50 years old. You will want to ensure that your dresser was crafted by Lane. Fortunately, identifying your Lane dresser is quick and easy.
