About the Item

This antique Housekeeper’s Dresser dates from the mid nineteenth century and is a fine example of early Victorian craftsmanship and design. Constructed in pine, it retains a superb original colour and a beautifully developed patination that has mellowed naturally over time, adding warmth and character throughout the piece. The dresser features an elegant one piece top with a shaped shelving area, providing attractive and practical display space while enhancing its overall architectural presence. Below the top section sits a bank of three graduated frieze drawers, each fitted with original turned sycamore knobs, offering generous and versatile storage. The base incorporates a spacious cupboard, ideal for household or dining storage, and is surmounted by traditional bun feet that give the piece a pleasing sense of balance and proportion. The dresser has remained remarkably intact, preserving its original form and detailing, which is increasingly rare to find. This is an exceptional Housekeeper’s Dresser, presented in excellent original condition, and notable for its quality, scale, and authenticity. Both decorative and functional, it would make a striking addition to a period interior or a characterful focal point in a contemporary setting.
