Webberley Antiques has dated this Georgian Walnut Dresser Base to the 19th Century.
Heavy and robust, with a good warm colour and fielded finished back panels – allowing it to be set in the centre of a room and viewed from all sides if required.
The brass drop handles are original, drawer linings are oak.
There is a smattering of old worm holes to the carved panel, some old worm tracks and losses to the bottom of the back feet and here and there to the stretchers – all long since treated and dead and not affecting structure.
The sideboard / dresser is solid, heavy and very robust, the drawers open and close smoothly.
The stretchers and legs have been very carefully turned and each section matches its partner yet contains different elements, displaying the turners skills at creating bobbins, reels, vases and cups from a single post of solid timber.
The top with twin walnut boards and hand carved shaped border with some fading.
Very beautiful and practical with small bruises, scuffs and dings consistent with age and caring use.
Dimensions are:
54 inches wide, 21.75 inches deep and 29 inches high. The internal, usable, height of the drawers is 3 inches.
