    Looking for info on welsh dresser. Previous owners said it was from England. It was being used as a bar back in a restaurant. It is pine and over 8 ft. long. Skeleton key locks on bottom doors but I do not have a key that works. No other pulls or places where there have been any. 8 spice drawers. Any info would be appreciated and possibly a value for it. Unfortunately, it is currently being stored so I would need time to look for certain I.D. marks. Thanks! 20141107_112100.jpg

    Welcome car.
    In that case you won't be able to take more photos of inside and back either, which is what the furniture people live by.;)
    Hopefully you will get some help anyway, but additional photos are always welcome.

    I will look as soon as I make a trip to my storage unit.

    Nice looking piece. A lot of us in here are Americans and know little about Britain-specific furniture. That said, a lot of the clues will be on the sides of the drawers or the back of the piece.

    Assuming this is not a reproduction and based on the one photo; Looks to be late 19th to early 20th century and made of pine. Large size is not necessarily a good thing. It will limit your buyer. Have picked up large antique pine 2-piece pine cupboards for as little as $75.00 here in the US (Midwest). Generally they would fall under $500.00 here. Location and venue selling makes all the difference, Could see this doing much better in other locations at retail. A search of auction records brought me no exact comparable but most sold in the low to mid $100s. Retail prices would generally be 2-3x higher.

    I think that's been stripped. Not sure it's from over here, the top trim looks wrong to me.
