Its prominent colour and flawless patina are why this is such an elegant example of fine antique furniture, which is sure to provide a stylish feature amongst  both traditional or contemporary décor – and a beautiful focal point in the home.

Dressers were first created in England in the 16th century; they are quite similar to sideboards which were a common feature in dining rooms of the time. Dressers were actually very famous during the Edwardian Era, often seen in dining rooms and kitchens, also known as a “lowboy”, or simply a “dressing table”.

In contemporary homes, a good-looking antique dresser can be extremely versatile piece of furniture which can be put to a number of different uses in the home. Whilst they can provide a great addition to the kitchen or dining room – their traditional place - dressers can also play their part elsewhere. For example, in a bedroom, they can be used as your ‘vanity’ with the neat addition of mirrors fitted to the backs of the dresser.

Hallways are also popular settings for these graceful examples of antique furniture; what better way to create a stunning focal point right there in your  entrance way than with a stylish 18th Century dresser!
