Description:
This is a lovely antique Welsh Anglesey (North Wales), late George III dresser base, displaying a lovely mellow colour, constructed of oak, mahogany and fruitwood, circa 1820, in excellent overall condition.
The dresser comprises a solid mahogany top, encased with oak moulding. Below, the dresser is designed with a breakfront construction, with a central column of working fruitwood fronted drawers flanked by a cupboard and a drawer each side. To each side of the centre of the dresser are decorative bobbin turned mahogany columns. The base consists of six working mahogany fronted drawers with later Victorian Gothic inspired brass drop circular handles. The cupboard doors are decorated with inset mahogany rectangular panels. It is nice to see that this dresser features all its working drawers. Quite often, similar dressers have feature faux / decorative drawers down the centre but this dresser boasts all working drawers, which is a nice feature. All drawers are pine lined, hand dovetailed, smooth running and close flush to the frame. The top central drawer features a working lock and key (all others are faux keyholes). The two cupboard doors are securely closed by twisting two swivel wooden latches, to prevent them from opening. The dresser stands on the original shaped bracket feet to the front and block feet to the rear.
Condition Report:
This is a lovely antique Welsh Anglesey (North Wales), late George III dresser base, displaying a lovely mellow colour, constructed of oak, mahogany and fruitwood, circa 1820, in excellent overall condition. Nominal old use marks to the top of the dresser, leading edges and both side panels (see photos), but nothing significant considering the age of the item. The dresser is decorated with good quality later Victorian Gothic brass drop circular handles. All drawers and doors are in good working condition. The top central drawer features a working lock (with key). All other drawers and cupboard doors feature faux (dummy) key escutcheons. The backboards, drawer linings and feet are all original. The dresser boasts the original polish; therefore it has a fantastic depth of colour and patination displaying a lovely mellow golden brown oak colour. This item is solid in joint and ready to use.
