A Nest of English Oak Tables

A Nest of English Oak Tables

SOLD

This nest of 1920s oak side tables have been around for many many years.
I purchased them around 15 years ago, my late father Neville stripped the lacquered finish off for me, for some reason he removed all the tops?

So over the years, we found some tops, the bases, moved from store to storeroom, bloody bloody!!

One of my favourite aspects about English country furniture, is they used the timbers available in their workshops at the time. If this was a town piece, would all be cut from the same tree and would be mahogany.
How’s this, I imported this table from UK well over a decade ago, along with several pieces we’re cleaning up this week.
Remarkably, the cleaning and re waxing time was about two hours. Well it’s nice finally getting all this nice new/old stock ready for showroom.
Dressers, Chair’s, Chests, Dough bins/petrin’s, sycamore chopping block on oak legs etc..
Several beautiful pieces I’ve sold recently.

Second half 19th century English faded mahogany and cherry banded pedestal desk/centre table.

Second half 19th century English faded mahogany and cherry banded pedestal desk/centre table.

THIS ITEM HAS BEEN SOLD

 

Another beautiful piece from my private collection.
This desk sat in our front living room for 20 years.
It was actually Donnas computer desk.

Perfect for bookwork storage with a shelved faux-drawer cupboard to the left and three graduated drawers to the right.
The top having two wide drawers, all with later stylish brass-work.

The top is very well faded and patinated mahogany with unusual cherry-wood cross banding flanked by thick pear-wood stringing.

For many years before we owned this desk, the previous English owners must have left in a sun filled bay window, to be so well faded overall.

Yet another piece I’d have happily kept for my apartment, if I had the space.

Never seen anything like this before.
