A Nest of English Oak Tables 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!!
19th Century English ‘William & Mary’ style, Yew & Walnut Chest on Stand. A recent purchase from another dealer. The chest had been coloured to a dark green oak and had been lacquered.

Such a wonderful discovery!
