The ogee shaped top rail having slight ears, above a fret-carved central splat,
resting on square inner chamfered legs, joined by an “H” stretcher.
The well upholstered pure wool small check, drop in seat (hand tacked) by C.W.Howell Upholstery.
Over 35 years my upholsterer.
With grapevine upholstery and comfortable long down filled cushion.
Surprisingly comfortable.
I can see in a barristers or drs waiting room. Very smart indeed.
The well patinated two plank moulded top, above a small central cock-beaded drawer, flanked by two longer drawers, having later but appropriate 19th century solid backplate brass handles,
above an attractive shaped lower mould, resting on turned column front legs and plain rectangular rear legs.

I sold this low dresser over 30 years ago, via interior designer Barb Brownlow and re purchased from same customers.
Rarely does pine resemble oak so well.
Centuries of waxes and different polishes creates this patina.
The three plank cleated top (later hinged – originally sliding)
Above canted bin, with original leaf and moulded carving.
Resting on a shaped, moulded skirt with a carved central star, joined to front cabriole legs.
Still to be re-glued, and re wax finished.
Or left un waxed, as beautifully oxidised over the centuries.
The cross-banded quarter panelled, moulded top, above two short then three long graduated drawers with book-matched veneers and narrow cross-banding, retaining all original brass-work.
The drawers flanked and separated by classic walnut double moulds, resting on plain bracket feet.
