MaterialOak, Brass
ColourDark Brown
MotifsTurned legs, Moulded drawer fronts, Stretcher base, Drop ring handles

This seventeenth-century Carolean side table in dark brown oak combines practical storage with vernacular English craftsmanship. The piece features a rectangular top resting above twin drawers with moulded fronts, fitted with small brass drop ring handles. Below, heavily turned legs connect to a complete rectangular stretcher base, standing on bun feet that display visible wear and a rich dark patina. The wood grain shows warm honeyed highlights along the edges and surface through centuries of handling. Measuring 71 cm high by 81 cm wide by 51 cm deep, this compact table fits comfortably in an entrance hall beside the front door or functions as a lamp table in a living room. It suits traditional country house interiors as a surface for small decorative objects or daily essentials like keys and post.

FAQs

A 17th-century oak side table, produced during the Carolean or Late Stuart period, features native oak joinery, bobbin or baluster turned legs, low stretcher rails for support, and moulded frieze drawers.

These tables were constructed using solid English oak joined with mortise and tenon frame joints secured by wooden pegs, alongside side-hung drawer runners and drop ring hardware.

Authentic period tables display hand-planed surfaces, slight asymmetry in hand-turned leg spindles, peg joinery visible at structural intersections, and historic wear or oxidisation around drawer pulls.

Position the piece in a hallway or living space as an accent table, pairing the dark oak patina with contemporary ceramics or simple architectural lighting for balanced contrast.

Dust the timber regularly with a dry cloth and apply a thin layer of natural beeswax polish annually, keeping the table away from direct heat sources and severe moisture fluctuations.
