SIDEBOARD / DRESSER BASE
MODEL No.18.
A VERY ATTRACTIVE, MID-LATE 20th CENTURY, CARVED OAK, SIDEBOARD / DRESSER BASE, OF EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY AND CONDITION. THIS FABULOUS 'MONASTIC' CARVED OAK SIDEBOARD WAS MADE BY 'NIGEL GRIFFITHS'. HIS WORKSHOP / SHOWROOM WAS BASED AT THE OLD CHEESE FACTORY GRANGEMILL, DERBYSHIRE, ENGLAND. NIGEL RETIRED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO SO THIS FURNITURE CAN NO LONGER BE PURCHASED FROM NEW. EACH ITEM OF FURNITURE WAS INDIVIDUALLY CRAFTED, WITH 'HAND-CUT' DOVETAILS AND WAS PLANED, SANDED, CARVED, STAINED AND POLISHED ALL BY HAND. THE SIDEBOARD IS CONSTRUCTED USING TRADITIONAL METHODS AND ONLY THE VERY BEST QUALITY SOLID OAK TIMBER WAS USED THROUGH-OUT, INCLUDING THE SIDES, BACK AND BASE OF EACH PIECE OF FURNITURE. IT HAS ATTRACTIVE OAK WOOD GRAINING THROUGH-OUT AND WOULD SIT NICELY WITH OTHER MATCHING ITEMS OF 'GRIFFITHS', 'MONASTIC', 'HAND-CRAFTED' SOLID OAK FURNITURE. THE SIDEBOARD IS A RICH DARK OAK IN COLOUR AND HAS AN EXCELLENT ALL ROUND FINISH. IT ALSO TAKES ON A DELIBERATE 'STRESSED', AGED APPEARANCE AND HAS RUSTIC 'STRESS' MARKS THROUGH-OUT. THE SIDEBOARD HAS A SPACIOUS TOP, WITH A DECORATIVE 'ADZED' FINISH TO THE SURFACE AND VISIBLE 'PEGGED' CORNERS, FOR ADDITIONAL STRENGTH. THE 'OVER-SAILING' SOLID OAK TOP ALSO HAS TRADITIONAL 'STRAIGHT CUT' EDGES AND ROUNDED CORNERS. THERE IS A DECORATIVE 'CHOP CARVED' BACK-BOARD FIXED TO THE TOP AND BEAUTIFUL 'QUARTER CUT' OAK-WOOD GRAINING THROUGH-OUT. THE SIDEBOARD HAS THREE USEFUL DRAWERS BELOW THE 'OVER-SAILING' OAK TOP. THERE ARE TWO LARGE DRAWERS, ONE EITHER SIDE A SMALL CENTRAL DRAWER. THEY ALL HAVE DECORATIVE CARVING TO THEIR FRONTS AND THEY RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL, 'HAND TURNED', OAK KNOBS. THE DRAWER SIDES, EDGES AND RUNNERS HAVE ALL BEEN WAXED TO ELIMINATE WEAR, STICKING DRAWERS AND UNNECESSARY DAMAGE. THERE IS A DOUBLE DOOR CUPBOARD SECTION AT THE BASE OF THE SIDEBOARD. IT HAS A FULL LENGTH SOLID OAK SHELF INSIDE, WHICH AGAIN PROVIDES VERY USEFUL STORAGE SPACE. THE DOORS HAVE MATCHING INSET, 'FIELDED' PANELS, 'PEGGED' JOINTS, FOR ADDED STRENGTH AND DECORATIVE SOLID OAK, 'HAND CRAFTED' LATCHES AND MATCHING 'CHOP-CARVED' HINGES. THERE IS A FIXED CENTRAL SECTION BETWEEN THE TWO DOORS, WHICH AGAIN HAS A MATCHING, INSET 'FIELDED' PANEL, SET WITHIN A SOLID OAK FRAMED BORDER. THE SIDEBOARD HAS SOLID OAK, SIDE / END PANELS AGAIN WITH VISIBLE 'PEGGED' JOINTS, FOR ADDITIONAL STRENGTH AND IT IS RAISED UPON TRADITIONAL 'BLOCKED' FEET. THIS SUPERIOR QUALITY, 'NIGEL GRIFFITHS', 'HAND-CRAFTED' SOLID OAK, SIDEBOARD / DRESSER BASE HAS BEEN CLEANED AND RE-POLISHED. IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION THROUGH-OUT AND WOULD BE A VERY USEFUL AND ATTRACTIVE ADDITION TO ANY HOME!

"I don’t like to match furniture and love mish mash, quirky and odd looking things lol. I absolutely love them. My house is 203 years old and is grade II listed. I think it makes an old cottage come alive and puts a modern twist on it. I love furniture that tells a story or gets people talking at a house party".
