Antique Dresser with Mirror - Brought over from England 30 years ago..was 100 years old at that time so that puts it at 130 years old at least.
- This is a beautiful Dresser with Mirror and is one of a four piece matching set. I am selling each piece separately or all 4 matching pieces together.
Obviously I can cut a great deal if someone takes all 4 pieces.

I believe it might be quarter sawn English Oak but I am not positive.
Features:

* Country of Origin: England
* Circa: 1885
* Solid Oak
* Lovely Wooden lines and carved skirt
* Elegant carving that surrounds the mirror
* Heavy dovetailed joint Drawer in the bottom
* Intricate detailed hardware on the drawers
* Key Holes in each drawer
* Strong & Sturdy
* Original Hardware not currently on the drawers is available and included in the purchase. (See one of the photo's)

The Top mirror section sits on the lower Dresser part.

This piece may show minor age appropriate signs of wear and patina and will need some of the handles replaced and will have a few scratches/ belmishes on it but it is in good cosmetic and structural condition and it is strong and sturdy.

Dimensions: 61" tall (including the mirror) x 36" wide x 17" deep

About this furnitures history: These four pieces were in use by a family at a very old and large English home that stood near Greenwich England and this old home like many in the area were torn down to make way for new development.
That is when an antique store called "Lancelot Antiques" in Blackheath Hill, London England acquired these pieces.
Then 30 years ago we purchased these pieces (which were already over 100 years old at the time), from Lancelot Antiques and they were brought with us when we moved a few years later to Canada over 30 years ago.

So that puts the age of this Dresser with Mirror, Chest of Drawers, Wardrobe-Armoire and Washstand Table at over 130 years old.

I can send pictures of the other pieces of the set on request.
They are:
1) The Wardrobe/ Armoire
2) One Chest of Drawers
3) A Washstand Table complete with beautiful original Opalescent Tiled Green back splash and a Flat Black solid marble top. It used to hold a wash basin in the old days to wash your face and hands.
4) Dresser with Mirror

What is patina? If an object is described as having a fine patina it's usually meant as a compliment.

If something is said to lack patina, it usually means the object lacks character. Patina is everything that happens to an object over the course of time. The nick in the leg of a table, a scratch on a table top, the loss of moisture in the paint, the crackling of a finish or a glaze in ceramics, the gentle wear patterns on the edge of a plate.

All these things add up to create a softer look, subtle color changes, a unique character that has value. Patina is built from all the effects, natural and man-made, that create a true antique.


It currently sits in Oakville, ON 5 minutes off the QEW & Bronte Road.
I do have the option to ship it but at an extra cost. I prefer pickup but can ship and it will add to the price. So pick up is certainly preferred.

****Serious Enquiries only please******

Thanks so much
