The tapered top makes this table easy to navigate in a small space.
Perfect as a sofa table, hall table, entrance table.
Serpentine shaped moulded marble top, above a matching shaped carved and moulded front skirt, opening to reveal an unexpected narrow drawer.
The stylish lines flowing into acanthus leaf carved knees and over expressed cabriole legs, terminating on a scrolled foot.
The beautifully veneered rear plain rectangular legs, on well shaped moulded feet.
Another one of the pieces I purchased back, that I sold to an old friend over twenty years ago.
The three plank top above a deep moulded ogee-shaped frieze, with stepped narrow drawers with brass drop handles to the front. Resting on slender turned legs, joined by a bold central “H” stretcher.
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!!
The two plank rectangular central top, with two, two plank drop sides.
Having a fine scratch mould 1cm from plain edge.
One end skirt having a later replaced or rebuilt 19th century drawer, with a brass handle.
The base with graceful cotton-reel legs, joined by bobbin-turned stretchers.
Fantastic overall deep oak colours and patination.
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.
I’ve enjoyed having this beautiful 18th century English yew-wood side table in my apartment for the past few years.
Being a dealer and having such special pieces, I have the enjoyment of living with, then selling once replacing.
I’ll truly miss this table, however living in an apartment forces one to cull!
