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. C.1780 H 70cm Dia 76cm
18th Century French Provincial Oak Petrin/Dough-Bin. The three plank cleated top (later hinged – originally sliding) Above canted bin, with original leaf and moulded carving. Resting on a shaped, moulded skirt with a carved central star, joined to front cabriole legs. Still to be re-glued, and re wax finished. Or left un waxed, as beautifully oxidised over the centuries.

A few details I’d like to share while waxing in the showroom.. I waxed up this side table in showroom today. While doing so I noticed a few details I thought to share. Both front bun-feet are original, both rare replaced around 100 years ago. Turned exactly the same, only a couple of hundred years later. The ware and borer damages make this clear. Also the V-shaped supports, below each side of X-stretcher, having chamfered sides to hide their existence (so very well done) Note: more photos of details on my website.
