Description:
Here is a great example of a superb quality George III oak dresser displaying a mellow golden oak colour, circa 1810 - 1820, originating from the village of Talwrn, Anglesey, in North Wales, which is in excellent original condition. The dresser is predominantly constructed from oak, but also boasts mahogany and ebony inlay, rosewood knobs as well as bone escutcheon. The dresser rack consists of wide good quality (a sign of quality) pine backboards, with three grooved horizontal racks that can support plates. To the top of the rack there is a lovely straight protruding cornice. The rack rests upon the dresser base, on large strong shaped shoes. Below, the breakfront dresser base boasts a solid single-plank mahogany top with a central column of working mahogany fronted drawers flanked by a cupboard and a drawer each side. To each side of the centre of the dresser are ring turned quarter columns. The base consists of six working mahogany fronted drawers with turned rosewood knobs and two cupboards, also rosewood knobs. The doors are decorated with inset Gothic style twin arched panels. It is nice to see that this dresser features all its working drawers. Quite often, similar dressers have feature faux / decorative drawers down the centre but this dresser boasts all working drawers, which is a nice feature.

All drawers are pine lined, hand dovetailed, smooth running and close flush to the frame. The right hand drawer and the left hand cupboard both retain the original working locks, with a working key. The rest of the drawers feature faux keyholes the right hand cupboard has historically had a lock, but this has been removed some time ago. The drawers and cupboards boast kite-shaped bone escutcheons. The dresser is further decorated with inlaid dots and diamonds, in the typical style that was common in Talwrn, a village on the island of Anglesey, Wales. The inlay incorporates ebony & mahogany timbers. The dresser stands on the original shaped bracket feet. This dresser boasts its original polish and patination, displaying a mellow golden brown oak colour, which has been created from 200 years of care.

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. So don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely piece of antique furniture.

Provenance:
This dresser originates from the village of Talwrn, on the island of Anglesey, Wales, UK. Talwrn is renowned for its community of woodworkers who made distinctive antique furniture from the early 19th Century to the early 20th Century. The pieces are typically decorated with inlaid spots, triangles and diamonds and finished with quarter-sawn oak, exactly as this piece is. They are highly sought after, decorative and functional items that would compliment any country kitchen or dining room.

Condition Report:
