Design characteristics
Lanhydrock's kitchen wing is one of the most complete Victorian service areas in England. This dresser, at the end of the kitchen, holds a large collection of serving dishes on open shelves above a long counter with drawers. It shows how a dresser can be scaled for heavy use, with deep shelves, sturdy rails and a durable work surface.
