A VERY ATTRACTIVE, MID-LATE 20th CENTURY, CARVED OAK, SIDEBOARD / DRESSER BASE, OF EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY AND CONDITION. THIS FABULOUS 'STRESSED OAK' DRESSER BASE WAS HAND-MADE BY THE 'RUPERT GRIFFITHS', 'MONASTIC WOODCRAFT LTD' FURNITURE COMPANY, OF BRAILSFORD, DERBYSHIRE, ENGLAND. THIS MODEL OF SIDEBOARD IS STILL BEING MADE TODAY BY SON 'NIGEL GRIFFITHS'. THE 'GRIFFITHS' WORKSHOP / SHOWROOM IS NOW BASED AT THE OLD CHEESE FACTORY, GRANGEMILL, DERBYSHIRE. EACH ITEM OF FURNITURE IS INDIVIDUALLY CRAFTED, WITH 'HAND CUT' DOVETAILS AND IS ALL PLANED, SANDED, CARVED, STAINED AND POLISHED BY HAND. THE DRESSER BASE IS CONSTRUCTED USING TRADITIONAL METHODS AND ONLY THE VERY BEST QUALITY SOLID OAK TIMBER AND FINISHES ARE USED THROUGH-OUT, INCLUDING ALL DRAWER LININGS, THE BACK AND BASE OF EACH PIECE OF FURNITURE. THE DRESSER BASE HAS A SPACIOUS FLAT TOP, WHICH HAS TRADITIONAL PEGGED CORNERS AND 'STRAIGHT CUT' EDGES, WITH ADDITIONAL 'CUT-OUT' CARVED DECORATION TO THE FACE AND SIDES. THERE ARE TWO LARGE DRAWERS BELOW, WHICH PROVIDE VERY USEFUL STORAGE SPACE. THEY BOTH HAVE CARVED OAK 'EYEBROW' HANDLES AND ATTRACTIVE 'FLUTED' CARVING TO THEIR FRONTS. THE DRAWER SIDES, EDGES AND RUNNERS HAVE ALL BEEN WAXED TO ELIMINATE WEAR, STICKING DRAWERS AND UNNECESSARY DAMAGE. THE DOUBLE DOOR CUPBOARD SECTION AT THE BASE HAS A FULL LENGTH, FIXED, OAK SHELF INSIDE AND IT AGAIN PROVIDES ADDITIONAL STORAGE SPACE. THE TWO DOORS HAVE MATCHING INSET OAK, 'FIELDED' PANELS, VISIBLE PEGGED JOINTS, FOR ADDED STRENGTH AND DECORATIVE SOLID OAK, 'HAND CRAFTED' LATCHES. THE TWO DOORS ALSO RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL 'HAND-MADE' STEEL HINGES AND THEY ARE TRIMMED AT THE BOTTOM WITH DECORATIVE 'CHOP-CARVED' BORDERS. THERE IS FIXED CENTRAL PANEL BETWEEN THE TWO DOORS, IT AGAIN HAS MATCHING 'FIELDED' 'PICTURE-FRAMED' BORDERS, WITH VISIBLE PEGGED JOINTS THROUGH-OUT. THE SIDEBOARD HAS SOLID OAK, SIDE PANELS AGAIN WITH VISIBLE PEGGED JOINTS AND IT IS RAISED UPON STYLISH CARVED 'PAW' FEET, WITH A DECORATIVE BEADED BORDER ABOVE. THIS SUPERIOR QUALITY, 'RUPERT GRIFFITHS', 'HAND-CRAFTED', SOLID OAK, DRESSER BASE HAS BEEN CLEANED, RE-POLISHED, IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION THROUGH-OUT AND WOULD BE A VERY USEFUL AND ATTRACTIVE ADDITION TO ANY HOME!
