An unusual early 19th Century French elm and ash farmhouse table – AA1906

The four plank cleated top, above a plain frieze. Having original extension lopers to one end, enabling the top to extend by 70cm. Raised on square-section tapering legs.

Note: the legs are the original height. 99% of antique farmhouse tables, are too low and need raising. You’ll also notice where the lower legs have had mops and water covered over the past 200 plus years. This adds a lot to farmhouse and refectory tables.

This table has a wonderful overall faded patina.

We just completed replacing the leaf, long lost. Matching in the elm and still applying wax over the next few days. 41 years in the trade and never seen a table quite like this one.
