This stool could sit in most settings, from an English period home, to a modern Melbourne apartment.
This English refectory dining table was made between 70 and 30 years before Captain James Cook was born.
Thats something interesting to think about.
I spent most of today re waxing this magnificent second half 17th century English oak refectory table.
Incredible what a good wax can achieve.

I sold these to good customers twenty years ago.
They are now moving and need to sell.
I’m always happy to re sell rare items I’ve handled over the past four decades, as they’re so hard to find.

Being terribly overstocked, (but not complaining) I’ve taken this walnut entrance table to my apartment to create more shop space and over decorate my entrance!
My usual entrance pieces are also quite out of my usual style, but having a retro 1970 built apartment, I wanted something different from the interior at the door.
Not my usual style or periods, but had to have these unique pieces✨✨
I’m explaining this table in full detail, to show why I love English country oak, elm, chestnut, ash, fruitwoods, walnut and beech, as no two pieces really are quite the same.
(Unlike town pieces, especially 18th – 19th century mahogany’s, predictably perfect.)
Such an interesting table, with various periods included in the making.
This table should be in an English museum.

The well patinated, circular tilt top, on a turned central column,
resting on three out-swept cabriole legs.
This is a great example of how to maintain period furniture, without over restoration.
Most important to me is the originality of anything I sell.
All this table requires is a slight re glue and re wax finishing.
