The upper section features two broad open shelves backed with narrow vertical timber boards, offering plenty of space for displaying ceramics, glassware, books or decorative objects. Beneath, the wide pine work surface provides a practical serving or display area.

The lower cupboard has two panelled doors with simple moulded detail, opening to reveal a spacious interior with a fixed shelf. The piece stands on small rounded feet and retains a wonderfully understated country-house appearance.

The pine has developed a soft, pale surface with areas of deeper tone, wear, knocks and colour variation that give the dresser genuine character. The backboards to the upper section show especially attractive tonal variation, adding to its rustic appearance.

A versatile antique piece that would work particularly well in a kitchen, dining room or large living space, either as practical storage or styled as a decorative display piece. See less
