Description

This oak and elm country dresser was removed from a north devon farm house where it is believed to have been for it's entire life.

It is unusual to find a dresser of this age in original condition. We have restored the item as some buyers will prefer the 'look', however, I am very happy to clean and wax the piece which will respond beautifully to treatment as only elm and oak can!.

The base has three drawers with original brass furniture and the rack above has two bow fronted shelves. Cup hooks are located to the front of the shelves in the traditional manner.

As would be expected the rack is removable for easy movement and transport.being of relatively small proportions this dresser is highly versatile which gives it a strong advantage over some of the massive versions for sale!

Overall height. 76 inches.

Width. 65 inches.

Front to back at deepest point 19.75 inches.

Rack height independent of base. 46.75 inches.

All questions are welcome and delivery can be arranged.

This item would make a wonderful addition to a west country cottage!
