Why is it called a Welsh dresser?
1 Answer
Originally, a Welsh dresser was identified as such because it was a cabinet with drawers and door compartments that originated in either Wales or in England. These storage pieces were outfitted with shelves and sometimes a sideboard and were commonly used in the kitchen to dress meat and prepare other parts of a meal.
