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.
