A VERY ATTRACTIVE, MID-LATE 20th CENTURY, CARVED OAK, SIDEBOARD / DRESSER BASE, OF EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY AND CONDITION. THIS FABULOUS DRESSER BASE WAS MADE BY 'RUPERT GRIFFITHS', 'MONASTIC WOODCRAFT LTD' OF BRAILSFORD, DERBYSHIRE. THIS QUALITY HAND-MADE 'MONASTIC' 'GRIFFITHS' FURNITURE IS STILL BEING MADE TODAY BY HIS SON 'NIGEL GRIFFITHS', WHO'S 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 PLANED, SANDED, CARVED, STAINED AND POLISHED ALL BY HAND. THE DRESSER BASE IS CONSTRUCTED USING TRADITIONAL METHODS AND ONLY THE VERY BEST QUALITY SOLID OAK TIMBER IS USED THROUGH-OUT, INCLUDING ALL DRAWER LININGS, THE BACK AND BASE OF EACH PIECE OF FURNITURE. THE DRESSER BASE IS LIGHT - MEDIUM OAK IN COLOUR. IT HAS A SPACIOUS FLAT TOP WITH TRADITIONAL PEGGED JOINTS, FOR ADDITIONAL STRENGTH. THE TOP ALSO HAS STRAIGHT CUT EDGES, WITH 'CUT-OUT' CARVED DECORATION TO THE FACE AND SIDES. THERE ARE THREE USEFUL, GRADUATED, CENTRAL DRAWERS BELOW, WHICH PROVIDE VERY USEFUL STORAGE SPACE. THE TOP DRAWER HAS A CARVED 'EYEBROW' HANDLE AND ATTRACTIVE 'FLUTED' CARVING TO THE FACE. THE TWO LARGER DRAWERS BELOW HAVE PLAIN-CUT FRONTS AND THEY RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL TURNED OAK, 'CHOP-CARVED' DRAWER KNOBS. THE DRAWER SIDES, EDGES AND RUNNERS HAVE ALL BEEN WAXED TO ELIMINATE WEAR, STICKING DRAWERS AND UNNECESSARY DAMAGE. THERE ARE TWO SMALL CUPBOARD SECTIONS IN THE SIDEBOARD, ONE EITHER SIDE OF THE THREE CENTRAL DRAWERS. THE CUPBOARDS HAVE A SINGLE, ADJUSTABLE SHELF INSIDE, THEY ARE LINED OUT IN SOLID OAK AND AGAIN THEY PROVIDE VERY USEFUL STORAGE SPACE. THE CUPBOARD DOORS HAVE SOLID OAK, INSET, 'FIELDED' PANELS AND PEGGED JOINTS THROUGH-OUT, FOR ADDED STRENGTH. THEY ALSO HAVE DECORATIVE SOLID OAK, 'HAND CRAFTED' LATCHES AND MATCHING HAND MADE WOODEN HINGES. THERE ARE MOULDED BORDERS TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF EACH DOOR AND THERE IS A DECORATIVE 'CHOP- CARVED' FRIEZE AROUND THE BASE. THE SIDEBOARD HAS SOLID OAK, SIDE PANELS WITH VISIBLE END JOINTS AND IT STANDS ON SUBSTANTIAL 'TRESTLE' LEGS AND SHAPED BLOCKED FEET. THERE IS ALSO AN ADDITIONAL CENTRAL STRETCHER AT THE BASE OF THE SIDEBOARD, AGAIN WITH VISIBLE PEGGED JOINTS AND ADDITIONAL MATCHING 'CHAMFERED' CARVED DECORATION TO THE EDGES. THIS SUPERIOR QUALITY, 'RUPERT GRIFFITHS', 'HAND-CRAFTED', SOLID OAK, DRESSER BASE / SIDEBOARD HAS BEEN CLEANED, RE-POLISHED, IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION THROUGH-OUT AND WOULD BE A VERY USEFUL AND ATTRACTIVE ADDITION TO ANY HOME!
