A Genuine Hungarian 2 Door Painted Black Victorian Dresser Base

19th century
Description

This cupboard is in good condition. We have professionally restored it and then painted it in a lovely black paint. We then rubbed over the edges and waxed it giving it a stunning appearance.

The cupboard would look well in an old or modern property in a large unfitted kitchen for storage of kitchen items. It would look great in a large living room with a flat screen TV on etc. Please be aware this is in one piece and I will require a hand off the van with it into your hallway. If it is to go up stairs your staircase needs to be straight with no turns.

The dresser base stands on square back legs and round turned front bun feet supporting the main section. There are two doors and each door stands on metal pin hinges and has a fielded panel with a carving upon it. There is a key that locks the doors. There is one large, deep drawer above. The drawer has ceramic handles. Behind the doors is a shelf for storage. The top is in good condition with a bull nosed edge.

The height is 113cm, the width is 129cm and the depth is 59cm.

Delivery Terms

WE OFFER FREE DELIVERY TO ENGLAND, WALES, AND SCOTLAND (BELOW PERTH)

Shipping /delivery is equally as important to us as the item of furniture itself. It is simple; we deliver everything personally in England / Wales so this way we are 100% sure that the item / furniture reaches our customers safe and sound. We NEVER use couriers. Delivery is generally within 7-14 days of purchase. We guarantee delivery anywhere in England / Wales within 21 days of purchase.

Deliveries to Scotland as far north as Perth are guaranteed within 6 weeks of purchase. If delivery is required above Perth in Scotland please contact James on 07957 392 074 or

james@davidhuntantiques.com for a price.

Deliveries are either carried out by David or James as one member of the team is required to stay in the warehouse, therefore we do require assistance from the van into your hallway with the item of furniture. We have set delivery days and once the van is loaded (a day prior to delivery) David will call customers to arrange a two hour delivery time slot. Customers will also receive a text when delivery is 30 minutes away.

It is really helpful if customers can provide their ‘what3words’ location to make delivery as smooth

as possible, especially properties in rural locations.

Ireland Deliveries

We do use a very good courier company called DVM Service to deliver goods to Ireland. We ask the customer to pay this company direct for the delivery charge and we then liaise with DVM regarding collection of a customer’s item of furniture to be shipped to Ireland.

Europe & Rest of the World

We do not ship to Europe or the Rest of the World.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Traditional Hungarian dresser bases originated in nineteenth-century rural households across Central Europe, serving as central kitchen storage for crockery and linens. Cabinetmakers constructed these pieces from local softwoods like pine, applying painted finishes to protect the wood and reflect regional folk aesthetics.

Victorian dresser bases were typically crafted using solid pine or oak, joined with traditional hand-cut dovetails and mortise-and-tenon framing. The doors and drawers were fitted into solid timber casing with hand-turned wooden or ceramic hardware.

Authentic period pieces exhibit natural paint wear around high-contact areas such as handles, edges, and keyholes. Inspecting the reverse side and interior reveals hand-sawn timber marks, aged wrought iron hardware, and natural oxidisation of the wood grain.

A dark painted dresser base creates a grounding focal point when positioned against neutral or light-toned walls. Incorporating natural stoneware, minimalist lighting, or framed artwork on the top surface balances the solid visual weight of the cabinet.

Maintain painted timber surfaces by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying clear natural beeswax once or twice a year. Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and high humidity to prevent timber warping or paint flaking.
