In our storeroom we have a vast selection of 18th and 19th Century English and French dresser and buffet racks.
Suitable to replace a missing rack or very fashionalbe to hand approximately 8 inches above a sideboard, this modernises your dresser or just as a hanging wall rack on its own.
If you look through these photos and imagine the lower sections being removed to have more of a recatngular clean line look. In the case of a timber panelled back the panels can be removed to modernised the rack.
Sizes vary from 4ft – 7ft wide and can look fantastic with a mix of modern and old on the shelves. One of my favorite mixes is green majolica plates and also with pewter charges and tankets.
The cleated top housing horizontal planks above three drawers with angled chip carving and the original shaped brass handles. The doors have fielded panels with exceptional carvings, above a shaped apron havinag a carved urn with flowers flowing.
Note: Generous chestnut interior and original lock and brasswork, good overall patina.
The rectangular thumb moulded top having chamfered corners followed by a moulded chamfered front corner. Having a fixed central panel, flanked by 2 panelled doors.
Note: the beautifully deep shaped mouldings overall.
Resting on the original bun feet. (a slight English influence with the deep shaped fielded panels, bun feet and lower proportions)
A decorative late 18th Century French Burr Elm Buffet. The canted cleated top above a centre sundial carved frieze flanked by two short drawers and canted front sides. The panelled doors having the original brasswork enclosing the original shelf, resting on scrolled cabriole legs.
19th Century French provincial carved oak buffet. The serpentine shaped moulded top above a central floral carving flanked by two leaf carved drawers with having the original iron handles above two shaped, well carved (musical) fielded “panelled” doors, opening to reveal a central shelf and a missing floor (will be replaced). The well shaped floral basket carved skirt flowing into the leaf carved cabriole legs. Once glued, cleaned, polished and waxed, this will look fantastic.

The well patinated chestnut rectangular three plank sliding top above four canted chestnut sides and a shaped frieze having a fruitwood centre drawer, resting on square fruitwood inner tapered and chamfered legs. Good overall colour.

The single plank sliding top (can be hinged) above the handmade nailed four canted sides. The outswept tapered legs on solid block supports. Good colour and participation.
