Originating from North Wales, the dresser comprises a solid three plank oak top.
The dresser is constructed with lovely quarter sawn oak timbers, boasting stunning medullary ray (similar to tiger stripes) in the timbers. The base consists of six working drawers which retain their original brass round knobs and diamond shaped bone key escutcheons. The cupboard doors are decorated with inset moulded 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 with butt joints, 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 retain their original working locks, with working key. 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 late George III dresser base, displaying a lovely mellow colour, constructed of solid quarter sawn oak, circa 1810, in excellent original 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 retains the original brass round knobs to the drawers and cupboard doors. As such, there are old use marks and indents to some of the brass knobs. All drawers and doors are in good working condition. The top central drawer features a working lock (with key), as do both cupboard doors, with their own key. All other drawers 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.
