19th Century English Figured & Pollard Oak Country Dresser & Rack of diminutive proportions – AA2107
The deep cantered pediment, above an ogee shaped tulip headed top-rail.
Then three shelves, flanked by Pollard Oak uprights, with the original wide painted back planks.
The figured Oak single plank top, above a central moulded Oak drawer with brass swan-neck handles and applied ogee shaped lower mouldings.
Framing a matching, painted open central display space, flanked by two upright Pollard Oak paneled doors, resting on shaped bracket feet.
Good overall polished and wax patination.
C.1880
Note: Having all the original brass hanging hooks. Each shelf has two points of perching, to hold ceramic plates and pewter chargers. This dresser is unusually small in proportions, the narrow depth and width of the base is very desirable in a period home or a modern setting. At times we re-paint the rear planks to match the off-white walls, in a contempary setting.
