A fine example of a mid 18th century oak low dresser of excellent colour and patina and appealing form. The native oak used throughout is dense and highly figured. The twin plank top has a broad undermould above three drawers to the boldly, ogee-arched frieze. All six legs are confidently turned combining baluster, ball and ringed collars. The twin plank potboard is joined by a plain, bold, base moulding.
Apart from retipping to the rear toes, the dresser is in entirely original condition including the brassware.
Welsh, probably Eastern Glamorganshire, circa 1750.
135 cms wide, 48.5 cms deep, 76 cms high.
