George III Oak & Inlaid Shropshire High Dresser, C.1760

A handsome Georgian high dresser probably from Shropshire and dating to c.1760. The top has a moulded dentil cornice with a small cross incised into the centre of each dentil and a scrolling pierced frieze below. With a half boarded plate rack flanked by two spice cupboards with sunburst and rope twist inlay which also finishes the quarter-sawn oak drawers below. The base has a shaped apron and supported by two cabriole front legs and straight back legs.

With a super deep colour and patina, it does have some marks to the top which add to the character and the right spice cupboard has some fading. The brassware has been changed and the base has slightly sagged in the middle over the years and these are mentioned for completeness as they do not detract from this very charming desirable piece of furniture

Width - 75 1/4in (191cm)

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.
