FAQs

Seventeenth-century dressers are characterised by solid timber construction, heavy proportions, and functional utility, originally designed for food preparation and serving in large country houses.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid quarter-sawn oak, joined using traditional mortise and tenon techniques, secured with wooden pegs, and fitted with hand-hammered brass or iron hardware.

Authenticity is indicated by tool marks from hand planes, historical shrinkage cracks, pegged joints, period-appropriate timber oxidation, and handmade nails or screws consistent with seventeenth-century manufacturing methods.

Pair the substantial wooden textures of the dresser with minimalist contemporary surroundings, using the flat top surface to display neutral ceramics or architectural forms to create a balanced contrast.

Maintain antique oak by placing it away from direct heat sources and sunlight, keeping environmental humidity stable, and applying microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish and protect the wood finish.
