Georgian Elm and Oak Dresser

A George III elm and oak dresser c1800, with a base consisting of six drawers and two cupboards, with diamond shaped bone escutcheons. The top consists of three plate rack shelves with brass hooks to the front edges, and the backboards finished in green paint. A beautiful piece of furniture with excellent colour and patina, in very good original condition. There are lots of lovely details on this dresser, but the beautiful timber is the real star. The grain of the elm is stunning and the colour is rich and deep, with the patina that only two centuries of loving wax polishing can bring. The upper section has beautifully shaped sides and a moulded cornice with dentil mould detail. The base is very practical containing six good size drawers and two cupboards. We have relined the drawer slides so that the drawers run smoothly, as they were dropping quite a lot previously. The base has a skirted base with bracket feet - the feet appear to have been cut down in height, but this is the only significant alteration we can find. Dimensions: Width - 178.5cm (maximum width across the cornice) Depth - 53cm Height - 212.5cm Height of base - 93.5cm Payment can be made via credit/debit card or by BACS.
