The dresser in this photograph was made for the kitchen of John Wesley's House, where it has stood since 1779. Its panelling at the back is configured in such a way that it slots onto protrusions on panelling fixed to the kitchen wall behind. The dresser would have held plates, cups, jars and implements for cooking; dressers were the precursors of built-in kitchen cupboards.
