About the Item

A long 19th-century English dresser in walnut and mahogany, built on the kind of generous scale usually found in country houses. At over seven feet in length, it offers a commanding run of drawers—eleven large and two smaller—set in a clean, architectural grid that reads orderly rather than heavy. The brass pierced handles add a decorative lift without breaking the disciplined rhythm of the façade. The frame is mahogany, chosen for stability and depth of tone, while the drawer fronts are faced in walnut, giving the piece a warm, quietly variegated surface. A molded top softens the profile, and the bracketed feet and shallow corner columns bring in the right amount of 19th-century formality without tipping toward high Victorian fussiness. Shallow semi-columns frame the front corners, giving the dresser a quiet architectural structure without adding visual weight. This is the sort of dresser that anchors a room: a bedroom, a dressing room, a large hallway, or a living space where substantial closed storage is needed without sacrificing elegance. Its long surface invites styling—lamps, books, a pair of mirrors—while the bank of drawers keeps daily life tucked away. A practical, handsome, and thoroughly English piece that carries its age well.
