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.

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.

I sold this amazing dresser to a great friend Stuart, in Euroa. He had a wall taken out and re built to allow this magnificent piece to fit into his farmhouse. I found this magazine amongst many other publications from years ago.
The customer I purchased this from had originally bought from Lee Harper many years before. So I was very lucky to have the pleasure of handling this piece and showing off at a Sydney antique fair, also 2003.
(See the red fabric I used to line the walls with, in Carters Antique Price Guide photo.)
I recently re purchased a magnificent 17th century English oak refectory table. I remembered I featured years ago as part of a full page advertisement in the then popular Carter’s Antique Price Guide.
The other day wandering round a Sydney antique centre, I found the book featuring that ad!
Truly remarkable find!
So whoever buys this table can have the price guide as reference.
More pieces than I can display, so please come in and take a few to decorate your home.
Anyway, feel free to pop in for a nice coffee on me, love visitors and chatting away, as I don’t usually get into work mode until around now!
