Antique Oak Dog Kennel Dresser Base

19th Century Oak Dog Kennel Dresser Base This charming 19th century oak dog kennel dresser base is a distinctive and practical example of traditional English country furniture. Crafted from solid oak with a warm, time-softened patina, the piece combines generous storage with a characterful central kennel compartment, originally designed as a resting space for a household dog. The base features two panelled cupboard doors to either side, each enclosing useful storage, flanked above by three frieze drawers fitted with attractive brass handles. At the centre is the arched dog kennel recess, complete with its original raised platform, showcasing the thoughtful and functional design typical of the period. Well-proportioned and robustly constructed, this dresser base would work beautifully as a sideboard, media unit, or hall piece, while retaining its original charm and purpose. A rare and appealing example of vernacular 19th-century oak furniture. ________________________________________ Key Features • Authentic 19th century oak dresser base • Traditional dog kennel compartment with arched opening • Solid oak construction with rich, aged patina • Three frieze drawers with brass handles • Two panelled cupboard doors providing ample storage • Strong country-house proportions • Versatile piece suitable for both traditional and modern interiors ________________________________________ Dimensions • Length: 178 cm (70 ins) • Depth: 41 cm (16 ins) • Height: 92 cm (36 ins) ________________________________________ “There is scarcely anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little more cheaply.
