Arts & Crafts Liberty & Co oak 'Cottage' dresser

An impressive Liberty & Co of London Arts & Crafts Movement solid oak dresser from their 'Cottage' range of furniture, c1907-10.  It has two open shelves above two frieze drawers and a pair of large panelled doors conceal the large shelved cupboard below. This model of dresser was sold by Liberty from 1907 and may have been designed by Leonard Francis Wyburd who was Liberty's principal furniture designer at the time, and also shares similarities with the work of Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott, Shapland and Petter of Barnstaple and Wylie and Lochhead of Glasgow and others producing 'cottage-style' furniture around this time.  This model is featured in “Liberty’s Furniture 1875-1915; The Birth of Modern Interior Design" (Antique Collectors Club, 2012 by Daryl Bennett. Both drawers retain the original copper ring handle, although one needs a minor repair and there are some deep scratches to the base on the left hand side.
