Georgian 18th Century Potboard Dresser Base (England, circa 1780)

SOLD

An Attractive And Very Good Quality Late 18th Century, George III Period, Oak Dresser Base Of Good Colour And Patina Throughout, Having Three Frieze Drawers With Replacement Knobs, Over Elegant Turned Upright Supports With Original Potboard Shelf And Rare Panelled Back Below.

As suggested by the name the original purpose of a potboard shelf was to store all manner of pots and pans. These pots and pans were often still wet, very heavy, or possibly still hot when placed back onto the storage shelf and this is the reason that we regularly find potboard shelves damaged beyond repair, or in rather ugly condition visually. No such problem with this particular piece however, it has a perfectly functioning and attractive potboard shelf which has an extremely rare panelled back to it, something we have only seen once or twice before.

This dresser base is a good size, not overpoweringly large, whilst at the same time being perfect for a wide ranging variety of spaces around the home, due to its narrow proportions amongst other things. It is also of coursevery attractive and retains a good colour and patina which is a consequence of years and years of hard graft and use, combined with love and care.

There is very little damage to speak of, certainly nothing visually unappealing, or which causes a structural problem and although the brass handles are replacements they are old, probably 18th century themselves and actually sit very nicely on the piece indeed. They have clearly been in situ for a very long time.

As with all items which we offer for sale this dresser base has been inspected and attended to in our workshops by our trained antique furniture restorers, where it has recieved a natural wax polish to ensure it is ready for immediate placement within the home environment.
