Rare Elm Dresser by Augustus Pugin

19th century
For Sale by LTANTIQUES.CO.UK
Description

An extremely rare solid elm dresser by Augustus Pugin. English Circa 1840.

Augustus Pugin was an English architect, principally remembered for his pioneering role in the Gothic Revival style of architecture. His work involved designing the interior of the Palace of Westminster in London, England, and its iconic clock tower, which houses the bell known as Big Ben.

Pugin designed many churches in England, and some in Ireland and Australia.

This unusual dresser uses thick elm pegged together, the sides are 40mm thick and have a wonderful shape, with fluted geometric patterns carved into the wood and quatrefoil cut out on either side.

The high back holds 2 shelves above 2 drawers with hexagonal elm handles which are also held in place with pegs.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Gothic Revival furniture draws structural and decorative inspiration from medieval European architecture, incorporating lancet arches, trefoils, quatrefoils, and exposed structural joinery.

Craftspeople utilised native hardwoods such as elm and oak, constructing pieces with prominent exposed mortise-and-tenon joints, tusk tenons, and hand-cut geometric relief carving.

Authentic items feature period-correct joinery without modern metal fasteners, natural wood patination, hand-cut dovetails, and architectural proportions consistent with nineteenth-century revival movement standards.

Position the dresser against a neutral or rich dark wall to create an architectural focal point, styling the open shelves with modern ceramics or glassware to balance the visual weight of the timber.

Maintain the timber finish by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a natural beeswax polish annually, whilst keeping the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
