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.
The well patinated fine moulded two plank top, above an ogee shaped skirt, housing one long central scratch-carved moulded drawer, flanked by two deeper matching drawers, having later attractive brass handles.
Another nice piece I sold about 25 years ago and recently purchased back
The well patinated greenish black four plank moulded top, above a plain narrow skirt, resting on stylish turned legs, joined by upright rectangular stretchers, terminating on well worn bun feet.
The semi-triangular widening top, above a plain moulded skirt, with panelled sides and a floral carved iron hinged door, opening to reveal storage space.
Resting on turned legs, joined by rectangular upright stretchers.

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!!
