The Georgian dresser comprises a boarded rack, with horizontal shelves that can support plates, with a raised lip at the front, to stop the plates sliding off. To the top of the rack there is a lovely moulded protruding cornice, with a straight frieze. The shelf fronts retain the original iron cup hooks. The rack rests upon the dresser base with sturdy vertical tenons that slot into the dresser base, to secure it into place. This Welsh dresser frame is constructed in the traditional manner with peg & joined construction. The dresser base boasts a solid oak twin-plank top, with an arrangement of three working drawers below, which retain the original wooden knobs. The drawers retain the original pine drawer linings and are constructed with hand-dovetailed joints, and close flush to the frame.
The Georgian Welsh dresser base incorporates a pretty shaped apron, raised on ring-turned legs in the centre, with block shaped legs at the front corners at the rear. The legs are united by a pot-board base, ideal for displaying smaller items.

This dresser is an excellent investment and would look superb in a variety of rooms from the kitchen, hall way or the living room. This dresser base would certainly grace any home; either a traditional or contemporary setting, to add a degree of contract. So, don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely piece of furniture.

Free UK Delivery*:
We offer free delivery to mainland England, Wales, and Southern Scotland (anywhere south of Stirling). *We do not offer free delivery to locations north of Stirling in Scotland, Northern Ireland, or any British Islands off the mainland; for example, the Isle of Man, Isle of White and Channel Islands. If you live in one of the areas where we do not offer free delivery, please contact us for a delivery quote before purchasing the item. Delivery will be made by our specialised antique furniture delivery service, or in some cases we will use a courier service for distant deliveries.
Delivery times are usually 1-4 weeks depending on location; we aim to deliver the majority of items within 2 weeks. All items are professionally packaged and fully insured in transit; therefore, we can assure you, your items will be securely protected in transit and arrive safely with you.
Once you have purchased an item, we will contact you by email and/or telephone and provide you with a provisional delivery date, in order for you to confirm if it is suitable for you. Once you have confirmed you can accept delivery on the provisional delivery date, we will book the delivery in with our shippers and it then becomes a confirmed delivery date.
We will also provide you with our shippers’ contact details, in case you need to contact the driver on the day of delivery. It’s helpful if you can provide us with both the landline and mobile telephone number, in case the driver cannot reach you on one of the numbers on the day of delivery, they can contact you on your alternative number.
In order to be able to offer you free delivery, it is based on a 1-man delivery only. For any large items that require 2 people to lift the item, we ask that you are available at the time of delivery to be able to give our shipper a lift off the van and into your house with the item. If you are not able to lift items yourself, we ask that you have someone on hand at the time of delivery to assist our shipper with lifting the item.
