Sleeping Beauty - Late 18th.c. Oak Dresser Base.

It seems suprising that Welsh dressers still turn up in unrestored condition but here is proof they do. This superb late 18th.c. oak dresser base with beautifully shaped 'slap on' panels typical of North Wales is a new arrival here at the shop today. It has obviously been neglected for some time but, remarkably, retains all its original handles and is of excellent colour and patina, especially on the top. Cleaned, waxed and with a little sympathetic restoration this sleeping beauty will awaken, ready to receive the attention it deserves!
