The beautifully grained hinged top, retaining the original double moulded cleated ends (unusual feature)
The front with hand made brass hook, moving through the steel latch, running through the top, to the front plank (once again beautifully figured grain.
Dovetailed joints all around.
With perfectly faded overall patina ✨
Replaced hinges, showing signs of the original fine knuckle hinges. Also later chain.
36th year in business and about the 6th farmhouse table I’ve stocked over 2.1m (Rare when original)
The deep three plank, cleated top, above a pleasantly plain narrow frieze, one end having a long drawer with original turned handle and warped central drawer divide.
The three plank top, above a plain frieze, resting on square tapered legs.
Note: Exceptional wild grain overall, with knots and fallen knots to the legs, a great talking point. (You won’t see this on a fancy 19th century French walnut, highly polished extension dining table) The raw beauty of French provincial pieces, same as unique English country furniture!

The smallest original French farmhouse table I’ve ever seen. Beautifully worn finish, showing the naturally oxidised oak grain.
The beautifully patinated, deep five plank top, with original bread-slide, above a narrow slight moulded skirt, resting on square tapered legs.

Sold this table from my storeroom, was planning on taking to my apartment, but business is business!
So like much of my stock, didn’t make my showroom.
The set of six American oak windsor armchairs also sold, they suit so well and are very comfortable. I used one as my desk chair.
A late 19th Century French flame mahogany card table.
The single flame moulded top, unfolding to a card playing table, having a decorative book-matched veneered frieze, on a well turned support column, resting on three outswept legs, with acanthus leaf carvings to the knees.
Note: Not my usual stock, you’ll notice the photograph. You’ll then notice this card table surrounded by entire family, from around 1900.
Fantastic to hang above to create a perfect conversation piece.
Forever changing the surroundings in my apartment. The latest change, replacing the Italian Murano glass retro penguins, for the 19th century Chinese Bronze Foo Dog Lion Figures.
Interestingly, everyone I’ve asked prefers the Murano Penguins.
The final photo is from Russell Winnell, when he photographed my apartment a couple of years ago. I wrote a story for a magazine to accompany the photos, however I’ve made so many bold changes, I can’t give those photos to print, so must get Russell back!
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✨✨
The large single plank quarter sawn walnut top having a zebra grained effect, above a plain frieze, resting on an unusual labyrinth of barley twist legs and angled stretchers.
William and Mary influence in the styling of the base. Early 18th Century style revived in the second half of the 19th Century.
