An antique early Georgian North Yorkshire oak dresser base with pot board

Posted by admin On October 22, 2025

An antique early Georgian North Yorkshire oak dresser base with pot board. Dating to the early 1700s. Fresh to market and sourced from just outside Harrogate. Well built in thick timber and using peg construction, this is a wonderful robust example. With stunning time worn deep polished patina, and central silhouette leg. The branded maker’s initials W. R present to the dresser front is a charming detail. The slatted end panels are an interesting and more unusual feature. Its design is certainly more inline with that of a more rural aesthetic. The pot board base makes this ideal to take centre stage in a kitchen interior. The hefty English oak has developed a deep warm hue which is very attractive. The small losses and knots in the timber to the top have become deeply polished, illustrating its long life of use. A perfect piece for any cottage or country home. The boards to the interior are particularly thick and chamfered. Another nice detail this wonderful piece boasts. The top has naturally warped gently which really does give even more character to the dresser. This does not effect use, more so empathise it’s significant age. There is a small circular recess to the front apron, most likely where a coin would have been inset. Possibly from when the piece was originally made. Given this was common place with other pieces of treen and some furniture during this period, this explanation seems very reasonable. Widest point – 166.5cm. Height – 96.3cm. Depth – 57.3cm. Front aperture height – 60.8cm. Interior depth – 51cm. Interior width – 151.8cm. Structurally sound and ready to use. No signs of repair or restoration. Wear and tear commensurate with age. Some evidence of minor non active historic wood worm. Although this is surprising very little considering the age of the dresser. This has been treated additionally for peace of mind. A historic small gap has formed between the two planks which form the top. This is to be expected. A single historic small timber infill to either end is present, this is where the dresser top would have dropped into place. A nice original untouched piece of Georgian rural oak furniture. Collection in person available by appointment only from our showroom.
