A good, rare 19th century Jacobean style oak and parquetry table with geometric inlays of walnut and mahogany, oak cross banding and a moulded edge. The carved frieze has two secret drawers with oak linings and stands on heavily carved baluster turned legs with a carved and turned H-stretcher to the base.
It is in good, solid condition with marks and shrinkage lines as expected for the age and all giving it delightful character. There are two spandrils missing from the frieze on one side, chips out the feet and a small chip out the moulding on the left side of the left drawer.
Overall it is a most unusual, versatile and desirable table.

When buying it is important apprecia
...te antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.
For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.
