This oak Welsh dresser from Carmarthenshire, circa 1800 epitomises what is desirable in a poboard dresser of this date.
The open rack has an undulating shaping to the frieze and ogee shaping to the lower sections of the sides, terminating into high shaped shoes.
Supporting the rack is a row of five spice drawers (one working, four dummy), these in turn sit on a thick base board.
The base of the dresser incorporates two rows of drawers which lie above a deep triple ogee-shaped apron. The whole is supported on four turned legs over a potboard base.

83.75” high, 69.25” wide, 17.5” deep
