Description

Beautiful 18th.c. Welsh oak dresser base from the Snowdonia area of North Wales c.1780. Three plank top with moulded edge over three long drawers and two cupboards with a central bank over four drawers of graduated depth. Shaped, raised and fielded panel doors, chamfered corners to the front stiles and unusual three panel sides. Superb early timbers and very heavy being made of dense native slow-growth oak.

Some interesting additional features, note the remains of a horn catch to the underside of the right hand drawer (which could only be released via the lockable right hand cupboard), the initials IE carved at the foot of the front right hand stile and a large letter E branded on one of the drawer sides. Some repairs to the back legs, otherwise excellent condition with original oak drawer linings, back panels and floor boards. Original finish and good patina, cleaned and waxed in our workshops. Keys supplied for the cupboard doors.

Dimensions: width 66", depth 20½", height 35½".
