The Welsh Dresser: Constructed in the 1830s, and made of light oak in a form typical of dressers of its age from South Wales, the Welsh Dresser has an open rack with three shelves, a base with four side-drawers and a short centre drawer with a shaped apron beneath. The open potboard base has four turned front legs, terminating in block feet The Welsh Dresser has been in the family at least five generations; in my childhood it occupied the dining room of my great aunt's house in a small mining village near the Black Mountain (Y Mynydd Du). This was one of two rooms that faced the street-immaculate, seldom used and always cold. The Welsh Dresser stood opposite the window, screened by a layer of net, and a pair of heavy curtains, slightly faded where the fabric met the light.
