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!!
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!
The figured book matched, rectangular top above two narrow drawers.
Retaining the original turned handles, on a well turned, finely carved decorative base.

Been some years since I’ve stocked one of these, this one in particular being the largest I have seen.

The solid two plank moulded top, with further applied upright moulds, then double moulded drawer dividers, housing two short then three long figured walnut, feather cross-banded graduated drawers, having decorative later brass work. A lower sectioned mould, resting on shaped bun feet.
The well patinated three plank cleated top, above a canted bin with deep wedge corner joints, joined to an oak planked floor.
The base with a plain frieze, resting on attractive out swept shaped legs.
Fantastic overall colour and patination.

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.

all blending so well.
Would you believe I used bitumen to build this beautiful walnut/period oak colour.
A long, complicated, somewhat monotonous restoration job indeed!
