A Nest of English Oak Tables

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!!

 

19th Century English ‘William & Mary’ style, Yew & Walnut Chest on Stand.

A recent purchase from another dealer.

The chest had been coloured to a dark green oak and had been lacquered.

I could tell there was something more special beneath that finish.

As soon as we started cleaning it back, we discovered the Yew wood cross-banding then the solid Yew wood base.

Such a wonderful discovery!

 

17th century English oak refectory table.

A recent re-purchase I sold 20 years ago.

Even though retiring soon, it’s impossible to not buy these magnificent pieces back.

In need of a good re-wax finish.

Keep an eye on my posts to see once done..

A rare set of six 1920s revival dining chairs.

These chairs are around 100 years old. The 20s was a huge revival period.

They have Queen Anne rear shaped splats and shaped top rails 1705.
George I and George II cavletto style moulds 1714 – 1740
all blending so well.

Would you believe I used bitumen to build this beautiful walnut/period oak colour.
A long, complicated, somewhat monotonous restoration job indeed!

19th century revival of a George III long demi lune mahogany side/hall table.

They didn’t make them this narrow in the 18th century. Much shorter and deeper.
This was made to suit the narrow Victorian hallways.

The bowed single plank, reeded-mould top, above a narrow x-banded skirt,
having a single figured mahogany central drawer, with ebony stringing and later but appropriate circular brass plate,
ring handles, covering where the wooded turned handles originally sat. With faux drawers to each side.
Resting on turned tapered legs.

Good overall colour and patination.

 

Window display night shots

Finally leaving my showroom this evening. Thought I’d make myself even later by taking a few window photos.

Why not hey?

I’m selling a beautiful harlequin set of 18th century English elm country Hepplewhite dining chairs for a customer, so popped one into my window.

The incredible beauty of 240 years of patina shining in my window is worth staying back for.
