Also Antique Furniture has dated this Oak Draw Leaf Dining Table to the 17th Century.
The rectangular three-plank top has cleated ends, with a draw leaf extending from either end to increase the table from 133cm to an impressive 225cm in length. The top is raised on four substantial turned oak supports, united by a traditional H-form stretcher. The oak has a rich, deep colour throughout, with a very attractive wild grain. The broad boards, robust construction and substantial turned base give it a particularly pleasing early appearance. At 133cm long when closed, the table remains relatively compact for everyday use, while the two draw leaves provide considerably greater dining space when required.

CONDITION
Presented in good antique condition and structurally sound. There are marks, patches and areas of wear throughout, consistent with the considerable age and use of the table. The draw-leaf mechanism operates as intended and both leaves extend to provide a substantially larger dining surface. The table surface is solid and level when extended. Overall, a characterful early oak table retaining a particularly good colour and naturally aged surface.
