FAQs

An 18th-century oak dresser base is a long, low storage table featuring drawers and often a lower pot board shelf, originally designed for serving food and storing household linens in dining rooms and kitchens.

These pieces were constructed using solid oak with mortise and tenon joinery, hand-cut dovetails on the drawers, turned front legs, and brass drop handles or escutcheons.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-planed surfaces, irregular timber cut marks on non-visible areas, historic patination around handles, and hand-forged fixings rather than uniform modern screws.

An antique oak server functions effectively as a hallway console, dining room sideboard, or living room focal piece, providing texture and balance when set against contemporary art or neutral walls.

Maintain the timber surface by applying high-quality beeswax polish periodically, wiping with a soft cloth, and positioning the item away from direct heat sources and high humidity.
