Welsh Dresser
« on: April 06, 2013, 10:20:33 am »
Hi all, newbie here.

We need to downsize our house and therefore we need to sell some of our larger furniture, some of which are antiques.
I'm worried I might get ripped off my whoever is interested in buying the items because I simply have no idea of the price.

One of our larger items is a welsh dresser, there are so many out there and vary so much in price.
Can anyone help me identify our dresser and what I should look up in order to narrow my search when trying to value it.

If anyone has any tips on getting a good honest quotes, that would also be great.

Hopefully the image below appears ok.




Many Thanks
andy

Any way you can get a closer shot of the entire thing ??  Also a pic of the drawer dovetails, hardware, and a shot with those doors open !!  That will help estimate age !!  Also is this something you purchased at a shop or is it a family piece,, your location will also be helpful !! Prices can vary considerably by location !!
