I sold this dresser over twenty years ago, to a customer that later became a very close friend. This dresser was placed into his main office and sat in the entrance with a William Robertson hanging above.
I had this photographed and used as a full page advertisement.
I’m trying to locate this Russell Winnell photograph to help re promote the magnificent piece, along with others I purchased back, that were also full page advertisements pre 2000.

One of the wonderful things about English and French country furniture is they used whatever timbers they had at the time. These drawer linings are an example and often found in 17th-18th century country pieces. Another favourite of mine is how many different timbers are found in the one piece. A French farmhouse table can have three to four different timbers at times. This variance creates the special uniqueness you can only find in country and provincial pieces, as town pieces, as delightful as they are, are more predictably perfect.
The shaped moulded edge retaining much of the original gilt design.
The painted surface includes a peacock and flowers.
Fantastic condition. Cleaned and waxed in our workshop this morning.
