Description

A very elegant early 18th-century oak and walnut English dresser base of good proportions and with a beautiful deep, rich patina.

This amazing example of English furniture making features a pair of deep drawers to the frieze, with both having naive hand cut cross banding, and a pair of brass swan neck drop handles and lock escutcheons. Below the drawers is a moulded edge with the base being supported by four turned legs.

The overall condition is superb given the age, still being in remarkably solid order. The top has wear and tear commensurate with 300 years of constant use and has had a small section to the rear replaced, where the original plate rack would once have been fitted.

A rare and desirable piece that would work well in an entrance hall , drawing room or dining room.

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

An 18th-century dresser base typically features a low-profile wooden framework with deep drawers, originally designed for storing dining utensils and serving food in country houses.

These pieces were predominantly constructed from native British timbers such as oak for the primary structural frames, frequently accented with walnut veneers and fitted with cast brass drop handles and escutcheons.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, traditional pegged joinery, timber shrinkage, and natural oxidisation marks on the brass fittings consistent with age.

An antique dresser base works well as a grounding focal point in a contemporary dining room or hallway, styled simply with minimal ceramics or architectural lamps to balance its historical weight.

Preserve antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and maintain the finish by applying natural beeswax periodically while avoiding synthetic polishes.
