A Welsh dresser can enliven a room and become a centre piece of outstanding beauty. Well crafted welsh dressers are created by craftsmen who understand the quality in superior design as well as the character of fine wood. Built to provide a place to prepare meals according to the medieval French term dressoir—Welsh dressers have long been admired by those who value fine furniture and a simple home life, and now an innovative website offers a wide range of stunning quality pieces at affordable prices, that website is www.welshdressers.org.uk.

Born in the Welsh countryside long ago, these pieces were designed to fit in small farm houses or town homes and yet they had to provide all the storage and workspace required to prepare the family’s daily meals. They were the original work station. The top portion of the Welsh dresser was open and contained shelves and hooks to hold plates and crockery, tea sets and pewter ware, even the family’s dear decorative pieces. The base contained either cabinets for storage of the working items in the kitchen, such as mixing bowls and copper pots, or drawers for the storage of eating utensils or table linens. The top of the base served as a food preparation or serving area. Original styles differed by region, distinguished by detail and type of wood. Today’s finer Welsh dressers hold true to the quality and craftsmanship of their predecessors. No matter what style—country or contemporary—they lend a homey quality that can bring warmth to any decor.

Www.welshdressers.org.uk offers itself as a gateway to some of the most impressive furniture retailers in the country. Selections include everything from the most traditional Welsh dresser to more contemporary dressers that will suit a more modern decor. But no matter what style is chosen, ageless quality is the key to each line offered through the website. A variety of woods—from solid English oak to Scandinavian redwood are available to showcase the homeowners tableware. New pine or reclaimed oak, simple and bright or intricately carved, these pieces can reflect the character and lifestyle of the new owner. Placed in the kitchen, dining room, or even the family room to showcase books or a television, they will become an heirloom to be passed from one generation to the next.
