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..
A rare second half 19th Century English Burr Elm, Pollard Oak and Rosewood Wine/centre table.
The Burr Elm, Pollard Oak and Satin-wood banded circular top having a gadrooned moulded edge, resting on a Rosewood gun-barrel shaped column, terminating on the original oak bun feet and low profile brass castors.
A rare late 18th – early 19th Century English elm & beech lamp table.
The attractive slight warped circular molded top raised on a baluster turned support,
resting on an out swept umbrella base. Good overall colour & patination.
The circular, well patinated, two-plank top on a refined turned vase shaped support, resting on three beautifully shaped down-swept cabriole legs, terminating in a narrow pad foot.
Notice the 19th Century handmade shaped steel braces securing the unusually thin top and a price tag from 1975 for $485, now valued at $3950 once restored.
Purchased privately today, November 14th 2018.
Still in need of a good clean, wax and to be photograped properly.
The well patinated pie-crust moulded single plank top, above a bird-cage revolving tilt-top base. Resting on a well turned and carved centre support, above beautiful out-swept cabriole legs, having shell-carved knees, terminating on a pointed pad-foot.
The circular top is mounted on a “birdcage” device which allows it to rotate, on a bold baluster turned pillar. This table is 18th Century in form, but the spur on the knees of the legs is a feature more typical of the first half of the 19th Century and suggests a later date.

Late 18th Century English country oak tilt top wine table
The circular three plank top attached to a bold raised block support, joined to a hexagonal vase shaped pedestal, resting on three near flattened bold down swept legs.
Note, the book-matched medullary ray grain to both side top planks. Also the depth of the top has shrunk one inch over the past 250 or so years.
