Hutton Clarke Antiques is delighted to present a distinguished 18th-century oak dresser base, dating back to circa 1750. This exquisite piece showcases a solid oak construction, renowned for its enduring strength and captivating grain, which has matured beautifully over the centuries to achieve a rich patina and warm colour that enhances its allure.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the dresser features four elegantly moulded drawers, each adorned with tastefully designed drop handles and intricately pierced escutcheons, adding a touch of sophistication and period authenticity. The original drawer linings inside speak volumes of its preserved condition and authenticity, a rare find for antique enthusiasts.
Adding to its decorative charm are the split mouldings that gracefully separate the drawers, a testament to the craftsman's skill in creating aesthetic harmony through detail. The dresser stands proudly on skillfully turned legs, interconnected by stretchers, providing stability and showcasing the design finesse of the era. The square legs at the back ensure a robust foundation, blending functionality with elegance.
With dimensions that offer a generous height yet a shallow depth, this dresser is perfectly proportioned for placement in a hallway or as a statement piece in a main room, where its presence can be fully appreciated without overwhelming the space.
