Description

Fine quality dresser in the reddish and very dense oak typical of Meirionnydd. The plate rack has a well-shaped cornice above a frieze with a cut-out design, over three shelves with a panelled back, flanked by shaped sides and resting on shaped feet. The top of the base has a moulded edge above three drawers, with a smaller central drawer and shaped panel below, flanked by doors with square and rectangular applied panels, and with panelled ends.

The brass handles and escutcheons are Victorian replacements but very attractive.

(Some old damp damage on the reverse of the top rail of the base where the dresser stood against the wall - see last pic.)

Wonderful colour and surface patination. Vale of Ffestiniog, Meirionnydd, Snowdonia, north Wales, circa 1760.
