The well patinated three plank top, hand made nailed to the plain narrow skirts. Resting on square tapered legs, one having an unusual lost knot to the top, a nice conversation piece between oak lovers.
The narrow skirt matched with the lower set of four early English oak dining chairs, is a great match, as makes this comfortable seating.
See below the top, the beautifully blended natural oxidisation of the planks and inner skirts, the thickness of the skirts and the huge knot missing from the grain flow of one.
These unique characteristics are generally never seen, not even by most dealers, as it’s a restorer that gets to examine every nook and cranny, having the immense pleasure of discovery!
I say once again, you’ll never find this in perfect, polished town pieces, from any period.
This is why I adore English and European country furniture.
Perfect for creating a stylish kitchen/dining in a smallish space.
This post also featuring a set of four early 18th century English oak dining chairs. I’ll create another post for them.
Enjoyed my linguini bolognaise from @mariaspasta while photographing today.
Also reading up on 18th century Georgian wine tables, seeing a few similarities to many I’ve sold over the decades.
The well patinated faded three plank top, above a plain skirt, with chestnut lined cutlery drawer to one end, with the original shield shaped escutcheon, originally had a lock, unusual for a farmhouse table, so may have been made as a desk.
The wide four plank book-matched figured cherry wood top, above a serpentine shaped moulded skirt, resting on long stylish cabriole legs.
Arrived to storeroom today. Needs a little touching out of minor damages and a good overall wax.

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.
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!

Mixing antiques from different parts of the world can work very well. Not all styles mix well, but 18th and 19th century English and French furniture mixed very well.
Six from a harlequin set of eight, last quarter 18th century English elm country Hepplewhite dining chairs, with a handsome first quarter 19th century French figured elm, two plank farmhouse table.
Absolutely beautiful. Classic lines with unequalled style, well that’s my opinion.
