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.
