White Dressers

Posted by Chris Burrin, on July 13th, 2011, under New England News, RSS

Originally, a dresser was located in the kitchen and was a utilitarian piece of furniture where meat and other foods were dressed or prepared, while prepared food was placed on sideboards in the dining room ready to be served.

Gradually the purely utilitarian function of the dresser was supplemented with other functions, such as a means of displaying the best crockery in a farmhouse. Once it became a means of display, the dresser could also be found in dining rooms and kitchens where it served as a sideboard and a place to store and display dinner ware.

New England Lifestyle design and manufacture a range of White Dressers and one of the most popular is the New Hampshire Dresser shown in the picture above. This dresser has four cupboards in the base with a shelf in each, and four drawers. The top of the dresser has a large display section, four more small drawers and a wine rack for fourteen bottles. This dresser comes in two sizes, the larger one is 203cm wide and the smaller one is 109cm wide.

Another of New England Lifestyle’s popular dressers is the Rhode Island Dresser. This is a more traditional design, and has two display cupboards with doors and shelving, with three drawers and cupboards in the base.  This dresser is not quite as tall as the New Hampshire Dresser and is ideal if you have a height restriction such as you might find in an old cottage kitchen. This dresser comes in two sizes, the wider one being 152cm wide and the smaller one 122cm wide.

All the dressers can be supplied as a base only, without the top, and they then make an ideal sideboard unit. The Rhode Island Dresser Base can also be supplied with a solid oak top for a more traditional look. These dressers can be a great asset to your home and offer extra storage space for both china and other larger items in the cupboards of the base. The other dressers in our extensive range can be seen at the dresser page of our website.
