Country House Potboard Dresser Base Sideboard Farmhouse Antique Georgian Style
About the Item
A gorgeous, extremely impressive and very rare Georgian style Pot Board Dresser Base in wonderful condition. Made in the late 20th Century by high-end English furniture maker Alexander Theodore, this stunning dresser base, a magnificent modern take on a classic English antique, makes a wonderfully eye-catching sideboard, which won’t fail to add superb quality, beautifully rich, light colouring and a very strikingly distinguished and stylish look to any interior.
Impressively sized, reassuringly heavy and made of solid cherry wood, this sideboard dresser base exudes quality craftsmanship throughout, as you’d expect from Theodore Alexander. A stunning piece to view from any angle, even from behind, the use of cherry wood is the most significant modern twist on the 300-year-old design. The rich golden-tan tones present a lighter and more vibrant quality than its antique forerunners, enabling this fabulous piece to be just as much at home in a modern interior as a period country house.
A particularly large and impressive example, this sideboard dresser is the ideal statement piece for storage and display purposes and features a stunning three-plank top above four large drawers with charming metal handles over two sunken seven-plank lower shelves.
Made in the traditional manor without glue or screws, the superb craftsmanship displayed throughout can be seen in the shapely four-sided carved upper and lower aprons, the lovely sunken side panels, the dovetail joined drawers, the six very impressive and sturdy turned leg supports and the attention to detail in the carved, layered and recessed bordering throughout.
Pot boards were originally designed as dressers or cabinets to store pots and kitchen accessories and would often be used as bases for dressers, which would be placed on top with plates and crockery. This charmingly decorative and highly practical piece marries antique rustic sympathies with modern impactful tastes – the effect really works wonders and creates a superb sideboard for the modern furniture lover, which nods back to a rich design history.
All in all this is a wonderfully attractive and highly practical sideboard dresser base, which will add beautiful colouring, superb quality, a real wow-factor and classical styling to even the most modern of settings. Extremely rare and likely from one of Theodore Alexander’s earliest pre-internet collections, we haven’t been able to find another example.
CONDITION
This is in very-good-to-excellent condition. Beautifully crafted, impressively sized, reassuringly heavy and structurally sound, it has only the most minor of marks to show its age.

Theodore Alexander
Renowned as one of the world’s finest luxury furniture brands, Theodore Alexander designs and produces handcrafted, high-quality pieces that are not only functional but beautiful and original.
Theodore Alexander was founded in 1996 by famed British curator, designer and entrepreneur Paul Maitland-Smith. From an early age, Maitland-Smith was a keen collector of antiques, leading to his work as a London-based antique dealer in the 1950s.
During the 1970s, Maitland-Smith lived in Southeast Asia, where he began his production of Chippendale-style chairs. He later focused on manufacturing reproduction furniture and decorative objects using materials such as porcelain, bronze, brass, leather, lacquer and shagreen. To produce his intricate designs, Maitland-Smith taught local craftspeople a range of techniques, including gilding, marquetry, inlay, reverse-painted glass and lost wax brass casting. In 2019, Maitland-Smith was inducted into the American Home Furnishings Hall of Fame.
Theodore Alexander has an extensive collection of designs reflecting styles spanning from Regency to mid-century modern. Among its most popular pieces are dining room tables, consoles, side tables, end tables, coffee tables and armchairs, each produced with exquisite finishes and details. Theodore Alexander’s Living History collection includes pieces like hardwood cabinets, chests of drawers and a rare authorized copy of a Thomas Chippendale library bookcase from Princess Diana’s childhood home, the Althorp Estate.
Theodore Alexander’s furniture remains highly sought after by interior designers and luxury furniture collectors worldwide. Its pieces have been featured in leading publications, including Architectural Digest and Florida Design magazine.
