A Welsh dresser is a piece of antique furniture, traditionally a kitchen dresser, characterized by an open-shelved top section for displaying china and pewter, and a lower section with drawers and cupboards for storage. Originating in Wales or England, these dressers were practical for storing and showcasing household items. Many of these dressers have a rustic charm, appealing to contemporary tastes.  This dresser base was made in England of old wood using traditional carpentry methods.
