Description

A superb and original Charles II period solid oak rotating Pillar Table, made by hand in c. 1660 with ball carved column and original large birdcage action.

.

The birdcage box united with well turned spindles and framed with extruded corners - each corner with well carved and curved borders.

.

Set on its original triform hocked base with bun feet and original pegged joints.

.

The four board octagonal top is original also and the table turns smoothly and is beautifully balanced and proportioned – a testament to the maker that it turns exactly as it did in 1660 (please see video).

.

These tables are intricate and were not commonplace. Their desirability reflected the changes in British society and increasing wealth available for luxury items with which to enjoy newly found leisure time.

.

At this time tea drinking had become even more popular due to the wife of Charles II (Catherine Braganza) introducing tea ceremonies as a convivial pastime (and a subtle way to demonstrate your education, fine manners and wealth) to the Royal Court where it immediately became highly fashionable.

.

These tables were crafted entirely from oak by skilled joiners and were used as tea tables, side tables and gaming tables.

.

The colour of the oak on this table is superbly developed and naturally rich with a soft glowing patina.

.

See Victor Chinnery ‘Oak Furniture – The British Tradition’ pages 297 and 298 for dated and documented examples and images of similar joined tripod pillar and pedestal tables.

.

This beautiful table is heavy for its size and the oak as hard as iron. It can be dismantled for transport.

.

An exceptional Charles II pillar table in remarkable original condition.

.

.

Dimensions are:

.

25 inches high and 22 inches diameter

Date of Manufacture

FAQs

The Charles II style, spanning the late seventeenth century, is characterised by elaborate turning, rich oak and walnut timbers, and imported continental influences following the Restoration.

Makers predominantly used native English timber such as quarter-sawn oak, joined with pegged mortise and tenon construction, frequently complemented by wrought iron or brass fixings.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut tool marks, deep patination from centuries of oxidation, shrinkage cracks, and traditional pegged joinery rather than modern mechanical fasteners.

Pairing a dark timber antique with minimalist contemporary surroundings creates a striking contrast, allowing the historical texture and craftsmanship to function as a focal point.

Maintain stable indoor humidity and temperature levels, avoid placing timber near direct heat sources, and occasionally apply microcrystalline wax to nourish the historic surface.
