Rare Jacobean Dresser

1900 - 1920
Description

This is a magnificent and rare Jacobean style oak dresser from the early 20th century. Smothered in mother of pearl decoration and a multitude of geometric mouldings throughout. Make no doubt about it this was a special commission when ordered new and would have been a huge sum of money in it's day. The upper section has three cupboards in-between the split, double mouldings and also incorporates a pair of niches. The cornice has a double break within it's design. The base is of a similar design, with three cupboards (one being a cellarette) and three drawers, all sat on eight turned feet which are interspaced with carved brackets. To the top of the cellarette cupboard is the makers name, which reads HAMPTONS, PALL MALL, LONDON. Whilst the French polish was being rejuvenated our restorer came across an envelope which contains numerous pieces from the previous owner which give a good idea of it's residence and a very interesting image of it's previous owner's lifestyle. Solid oak throughout and very heavy even though it splits into two halves.

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.
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.
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.

Jacobean furniture originated in 17th-century England during the reign of King James I. It is characterised by sturdy oak construction, dark finishes, architectural proportions, and geometric mouldings, often incorporating turned spindles and intricate wood or shell inlays.

Pieces from this period were predominantly constructed from solid native oak. Decorative elements frequently included turned wood spindles, hand-carved geometric panels, and inlaid ornamentation made from bone, mother-of-pearl, or contrasting hardwoods such as holly and bog oak.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-hewn surfaces, wooden peg joinery instead of modern nails, and uneven wear patterns consistent with age. Look for hand-cut drawers with simple dovetail joints and original timber oxidisation inside the carcass.

Balance the visual weight of dark carved oak by pairing the piece with light, neutral wall shades and minimalist decor. Juxtaposing historic geometric woodwork against contemporary plaster walls or modern artwork creates a textured, layered aesthetic.

Keep the wood dust-free using a soft dry microfibre cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the timber. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and direct sunlight or proximity to radiators to prevent moisture loss and veneer lifting.
