Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

A dresser base, also known as a low dresser or server, originated in late 17th-century Britain as a shallow storage cabinet used in dining spaces for serving food or displaying tableware.

These pieces were predominantly constructed from solid native English oak, featuring hand-planed plank tops, pegged mortise-and-tenon joints, and hand-carved geometric drawer fronts.

Look for signs of period craftsmanship such as hand-tooling, hand-cut dovetails, wooden peg joinery, uneven drawer linings, and natural timber shrinkage over time.

A late 17th-century oak dresser base serves effectively as a hallway console or dining room server, balanced by modern artwork or contemporary ceramic vessels placed on top.

Dust regularly with a dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct heat sources and severe humidity fluctuations.
