Provenance
This dresser was made in the village of Carluke, between Edinburgh and Glasgow, where there was a flourishing furniture-making trade in the 19th century. Dressers of this design were made by the firm Thomas Gray & Co, Clyse Street, Carluke (fl. 1892-1903) and were illustrated in the Upperward Almanac (1903). This dresser, although following in the tradition of Scottish Lowland dressers, shows stylistic influence from fashionable chiffoniers. The painted surface demonstrates the high order of skill in the simulated painted finishes which Scottish furniture makers produced to the highest level.
