We are very excited to announce a new design joining our collection of kitchen and dining room furniture: Charlie's Kitchen Dresser!
The kitchen dresser, alternatively known as a Welsh Dresser in the UK or simply a Hutch in the US, has a long history. Before built-in cabinetry became standard in the early 20th century, kitchens had a collection of freestanding furniture to store plates, bowls, and pantry items. The dresser and a large work table were typically the dominant pieces in the room.
In Ireland, everything from chickens to the family papers was stored in the kitchen dresser, in addition to the usual collection of pottery and glass.
History tends to come full circle and we are seeing kitchens opening up again and customers wanting storage that bridges kitchen and dining spaces.
