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.

A rare mid 18th Century English elm low dresser - UK1787

A rare mid 18th Century English elm low dresser – UK1787

A rare mid 18th Century English elm low dresser, having an applied rear plate. Above an attractive ogee cut apron housing three field frieze drawers with brass swan neck handles raised on long cabriole legs terminating on a pad foot, ownership initial on one. I photographed the original single plank ‘adze’ finished backboard, as it is outstanding! (I could look at it all day)

Adze: form of an axe in which the blade is set at a right angle to the handle, used for dressing timber. Required skill. To use the cutting adze requires standing astride or on top of the log to be hewn.

Note: 35 years in the trade and this is only the second elm dresser I have stocked, as elm being such a soft timber rarely survives in such good condition.
