Stock UK1422

A late Georgian oak tri-pod pedestal table.

The circular top is mounted on a “birdcage” device which allows it to rotate, on a bold baluster turned pillar. This table is 18th Century in form, but the spur on the knees of the legs is a feature more typical of the first half of the 19th Century and suggests a later date.
