A VERY ATTRACTIVE, MID - LATE 20th CENTURY, CARVED OAK, SIDEBOARD / DRESSER BASE OF EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY AND CONDITION. THIS FABULOUS 'STRESSED OAK' DRESSER BASE WAS MADE BY 'RUPERT GRIFFITHS' 'MONASTIC WOODCRAFT LTD' OF BRAILSFORD, DERBYSHIRE. THE SIDEBOARD / DRESSER BASE IS STILL MADE TODAY BY HIS SON 'NIGEL GRIFFITHS', HIS 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 AND THE BACK OF EACH PIECE OF FURNITURE. THE DRESSER BASE IS DARK OAK IN COLOUR, IT HAS ATTRACTIVE OAK-WOOD GRAINING THROUGH-OUT AND WOULD SIT NICELY WITH OTHER MATCHING ITEMS OF 'GRIFFITHS' 'MONASTIC' HAND-MADE OAK FURNITURE. THE SIDEBOARD HAS A SPACIOUS FLAT TOP WITH TRADITIONAL PEGGED CORNERS, FOR ADDITIONAL STRENGTH. IT HAS TRADITIONAL STRAIGHT CUT EDGES, WITH 'CUT-OUT' CARVED DECORATION TO THE FACE AND SIDES. THE DRESSER BASE ALSO HAS A 'HAND-CRAFTED' 'ADZED' FINISH TO THE SURFACES AND IT TAKES ON A DELIBERATE 'STRESSED OAK', AGED APPEARANCE, WITH RUSTIC 'STRESS' MARKS THROUGH-OUT. THERE ARE THREE USEFUL DRAWERS BELOW, WHICH PROVIDE VERY USEFUL STORAGE SPACE. THE TWO SIDE DRAWERS HAVE 'EYEBROW' HANDLES AND ATTRACTIVE 'FLUTED' CARVING TO THEIR FRONTS. THE LARGE CENTRAL DRAWER HAS ATTRACTIVE TURNED OAK HANDLES AND MATCHING 'FLUTED' CARVING TO THE FACE. IT ALSO CONTAINS CULTERY COMPARTMENTS INSIDE AND IS BAIZE LINED. THE DRAWER SIDES, EDGES AND RUNNERS HAVE ALL BEEN WAXED TO ELIMINATE WEAR, STICKING DRAWERS AND UNNECESSARY DAMAGE. THERE ARE THREE CUPBOARD SECTIONS IN THE SIDEBOARD, WHICH AGAIN PROVIDE ADDITIONAL STORAGE SPACE. EACH CUPBOARD HAS A SINGLE ADJUSTABLE SHELF INSIDE AND ALL THREE CUPBOARDS ARE LINED OUT IN SOLID OAK. THE CUPBOARD DOORS HAVE MATCHING INSET, 'FIELDED' PANELS AND VISIBLE PEGGED JOINTS, FOR ADDED STRENGTH. THEY HAVE DECORATIVE SOLID OAK, 'HAND CRAFTED' LATCHES, MATCHING HAND MADE WOODEN HINGES, WITH TRADITIONAL 'HAND-BEATEN' STEEL HINGES ON THE CENTRAL TWO DOOR CUPBOARD SECTION. THE SMALL CUPBOARD DOORS HAVE MOULDED BORDERS TOP AND BOTTOM, WITH MATCHING 'EYE-BROW' HANDLES AND ADDITIONAL HAND-MADE WOODEN SWIVEL DOOR CATCHES. THERE IS A DECORATIVE 'CHOP- CARVED' FRIEZE AROUND THE BASE OF THE SIDEBOARD AND IT IS RAISED UPON TRADITIONAL BLOCKED FEET. THE SIDEBOARD / DRESSER BASE HAS SOLID, INSET OAK, SIDE PANELS WITH STYLISH, SWEPT CARRYING HANDLES AT EACH END AGAIN WITH VISIBLE PEGGED JOINTS THROUGH-OUT, FOR ADDITIONAL STRENGTH. THIS SUPERIOR QUALITY, '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!
