Charles II English oak side table – CPGP501

 
The plain four plank top above a plain lower triple scratch moulded frieze, resting on baluster turned legs, joined by stretchers.

Note: This is a fantastic example of a mid 17th Century table, having missing knots, signs of many old repairs done over the past 350 years, even showing scattered borer holes.

Oak being such a hard wood borer usually avoid oak (except for the sap areas) and munch on the elms, walnut and fruitwoods, period oak should always show signs of minor borer.

Provenance: purchased from John Dunn Antiques 1976
