I’m strongly considering re colouring the frame, or at least the oak mount, possibly gold touch the plaster frame.
Years ago I wrote an article ‘To Frame or not to Frame’ for Period Style Magazine, you can see it under ‘Media’.

A Nest of English Oak Tables

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.

I could tell there was something more special beneath that finish.

As soon as we started cleaning it back, we discovered the Yew wood cross-banding then the solid Yew wood base.

Such a wonderful discovery!
