Webberley Antiques has dated this piece to the Before 1700 period.
The drawers with original oak linings and substantial dovetailed joints. The whole peg jointed.
Original pine backboard and wonderful spiral turned front legs with ring and bulb turning extending through a substantial box stretcher.
Sturdy, very heavy and entirely usable, the dresser has been professionally restored and polished during the last half century and is in excellent showroom condition.
Some old shakes, knocks and a few old worm tracks to the stretchers (long since treated and dead) and small dings and marks consistent with age and use.
Stunning and such a lovely small size. This dresser will look perfect in a cottage or a mansion and with a wonderful colour and particularly attractive patina to the yew drawer fronts.
Guaranteed to delight.
Dimensions are:
57 inches wide, 19 inches deep, 33.5 inches wide.
The internal (usable) height of the drawers is 5.5 inches.
