First half 18th Century French walnut refectory table

The well patinated three plank top above a deep frieze, the shaped, moulded facing side having decorative floral inlays of exotic timbers and ebony.

The rear and less used side having a plain frieze and two long drawers. Resting of baluster turned legs, joined by a rectangular ‘H’ stretcher.

Note, the entire base other than the inlaid frieze needing a good clean, highlighting the beautiful hidden grains, hidden by around 300 years of dark waxes.

The turned handles may be original, I can change to a more decorative brass knob or plate handle if desired.
