A rare mid 18th Century English oak dresser base, Midlands – UK1879

Three planked moulded top, above three friezed doors having decorative brass handles, raised on silhouette-baluster profile legs to front and side.

In thirty years of trading and forty years in the antiques trade,I have never stocked a dresser with silhouette legs. Even more unusual is that I now own two! Both from the same retiring English dealer that I purchased one dozen from. Actually my largest single purchase in my thirty years of business.

I’m moving into an apertment soon and am planing to take several dressers, one will have silhouette legs..

Fantasic original condition.

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.
