Partly Glazed South Wales Painted Antique Pine Dresser

This lovely old pine dresser dates from the early 20th century and retains much of its original paint, giving it a warm, timeworn charm. The finish has been lightly scraped back in places—especially toward the back—revealing earlier layers beneath. It has wonderful character and presence, making it a standout piece in any room.

The top section features two glazed doors, each with a small side catch, enclosing useful storage. Between the doors is an open-shelved display area, ideal for crockery, books, or decorative items. One section of the back (bottom left) has been partially painted white by a previous owner. While this could be scraped back to reveal more of the original surface, repainting the whole back may be the more practical approach. We’re happy to discuss both options with you—or fully strip the dresser to bare wood if preferred.

The mid-section includes a recessed open shelf, adding visual interest and extra storage. The base has three drawers above two cupboard doors, with an open space between them. Each cupboard includes a single shelf inside, and the drawers run smoothly. The dresser stands on bracket feet and has a sturdy, balanced feel.

Often described as a South Wales dresser—due to its style and likely regional origin—this piece blends functionality with rustic charm. The top separates from the base for easier delivery.

The dresser is offered exactly as seen (in its original paint) for £600. We’re happy to quote for any refinishing, restoration, or adjustments you’d like. If you’re considering buying it as it is, we recommend giving us a call first so we can discuss any questions or options with you.

As shown in the photos (pictured both with and without them), the dresser features two small crown pieces on the top, which can be removed if desired.
