antique furniture: dressers
A Welsh dresser always brings back fond memories for me. Both my mother and grandmother had one and they were the centre of family life.
We talked around them, leaned on them; placed things on them and the drawers were full of various pieces of paperwork, pictures, pens and other sundry items. The top shelving was always for showing off the best china. This was really the part about Welsh dressers that people loved most of all; you were able to show off your very best dinner service, regardless of how poor you were.
