The natural waxed pine is a warm amber honey color which just glows. The old turned feet at the base of the dresser add to the elegance of this piece. There are imperfections in the wood that add to the rustic charm of this piece including old wormhole damage, filled splits in the top and splits in the side, as well as random scratches. The blue French line motif is a modern addition, in keeping with antique English dressers of this period that often had narrow decorative banding around the perimeter of each drawer. The natural pine drawer knobs are original to the piece with the exception of one knob, see last photo, which is a replacement. The replacement key with a new blue tassel turns in the locks, locking each drawer if desired!
Measurements 41.75"H x 41"W x 17.5"D
Condition commensurate with age and use. This is an old but very functional piece with the drawers gliding and locking. The casework construction is strong and sturdy, ready for many years of use. The imperfections in the natural pine wood, including random scratches and old inactive wormhole damage, add to the rustic European charm and do not affect the stability of this piece.
Waxed with Fiddes Supreme Wax in Stripped Pine... just buff with a soft brush or an old t-shirt to increase the natural glow and eliminate smudges. See less
