19th century

Sold by Arundel Decorative

Description

A charming mid-Victorian hand-painted dresser base, beautifully proportioned and full of period character. This piece has been later decorated in a soft, time-worn palette, giving it a wonderfully relaxed country-house feel while still retaining its 19th-century presence.

The dresser offers excellent storage with a bank of drawers flanking a central cupboard, all set above turned legs that lift the piece gracefully from the floor. The hand-painted finish has a gentle, authentic patina—subtle distressing, layered colour, and a warmth that only age and craftsmanship can produce.

Perfect for kitchens, hallways, living spaces, or as a statement console, this is a versatile and decorative Victorian base that blends practicality with charm. A lovely example for those who appreciate period furniture with a soft, lived-in aesthetic.
