18th Century English Country oak Wine Table.

18th Century English Country oak Wine Table.

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.

Another piece purchased last week that still requires a clean up and re wax finishing.
I’ll carefully remove much of the later polish, bring back to a lighter oak, then re wax finish.
Later brass work, I’ll probably replace with period style swan-neck handles.

A Nest of English Oak Tables

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

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.
