This charming Welsh dresser is brass mounted and was nicely carved. Welsh dressers are traditional British pieces of furniture, most closely associated with Wales but also common in parts of England, that combine storage and display functions. They typically have a base section with drawers, cupboards, and shelves for storing crockery, silverware, and other household items, and an upper section — often called the plate rack — with open shelves for displaying china, pewter, and glassware.
