Superb Painted Pine Georgian Irish Dresser
Ref: 1754
One of the best Irish antique pine dressers that we have seen for a while. We know it is from Co.Cork as we found it in situ in a tiny and ruined estate cottage perilously close to the cliff edge. It has been carefully restored so as to preserve its as-found aged charm and atmosphere. It has fine neo-classical features, a bold architectural cornice with typical Georgian reeding and detail along the frieze and at the sides.
The paint is magnificent, layers of it and varnishes creating a sumptuous conker red glow that has been revivified through new applications of french polish and wax and simply by polishing in the course of the restoration.
Co.Cork c.1800-1840
