Antique Pine Glazed Bookcase/Dresser in Original Paint
Ref: 2505
A so-called Cork Rope Dresser, it is an antique pine glazed dresser or bookcase in original paint, coming direct from a house in Ireland. It is a characteristic form of folk or peasant country furniture found in the county of Cork and it's name derives from the chunky rope twist moulding that frames it. The fans in the corners of the glazed doors and door fronts to the base are also boldy carved and another folk variation on the Georgian English style. Really solid and well made piece and in one piece and in superb original condition. At one time a piece like this would be easily 2-3,000.
We have one pane of glass to replace as you can see.
