The dresser features a pleasing canopy rack above with shaped sides and three shelves, including cutlery slots to one shelf, a lovely original and practical detail typical of Welsh country furniture.

Below is a well-proportioned base with three drawers over two cupboard doors, centred by attractive fielded panel decoration, all fitted with traditional turned wooden knobs. The piece stands on simple bracket feet and retains a rich, warm colour and good honest patina developed over centuries of use.

The dresser separates into two sections for easier transport and installation, making it practical for modern homes while retaining its original character.

A very appealing and compact Welsh dresser, ideal where space is limited, yet the charm of genuine 18th century country furniture is desired. See less
