Welsh Dresser Base with Eight Drawers and a Potboard c.1810

Early 19th.c. oak Welsh dresser base, South Wales c.1810. Solid oak top with a moulded edge over an unusual configuration of six large drawers plus two small 'knife drawers'. Its quite unusual for these smaller drawers to be working rather than just dummy fronts. Later Georgian pattern brass handles with shaped backplates. Elaborate shaped apron below the drawers featuring three ogee pointed arches. Turned and tapering legs joined with an open potboard display shelf. Raised on tapering turned feet. Solid oak sides, pine backboard and drawer linings.
