circa: 1920 width: 42 height: 75 length: 17 This oak Welsh dresser was hand-crafted in England around 1900 and recently imported to our Atlanta furniture store. Today, the oak looks especially rich, with a lustrous complexion and a striking grain, and this is in part due to the development of a lovely patina. The Jacobean style paneling also looks quite beautiful, as do the turned legs and stretcher. A cabinet, a drawer and two shelves provide plenty of storage space, while the single drawer features hand-cut dovetails. Although this dresser remains quite sturdy, it has sustained some surface wear, mainly in the form of small wear marks here and there that are consistent with age. On the sides, however, age splits have developed. Age splits are superficial separations between the boards that result, as the term indicates, from age--they are purely cosmetic and thus do not affect structural integrity. Finally, the top and bottom separate for shipping and easy movement around the home.
