English Painted Dog Kennel Dresser Base, c.1890
A charming and functional piece of mid-19th century English country furniture, this painted dog kennel dresser base embodies both rustic practicality and farmhouse elegance. Dating to around 1890, it is a fine example of provincial craftsmanship, designed with everyday utility in mind.
The “dog kennel” dresser base takes its name from the central recessed archway, traditionally left open as a resting spot for the family dog. Flanking the opening are cupboard doors or drawers, offering enclosed storage, while the long rectangular top provides a generous working or serving surface.
