Atropos Antiques has dated this piece to the 1870s.
IT IS STEEPED IN HISTORY.
THE TABLE HAS A CLASSIC 'TURNOVER TOP' WHICH CAN BE USED ON BOTH SIDES. TRADITIONALLY, ONE SIDE WAS USED FOR 'BEST' AND THE OTHER FOR HUNDREDS OF OTHER PURPOSES FROM PREPARING VEGETABLES ETC TO, PROBABLY, ATTENDING TO MATTERS OF MAINTENANCE ON HORSE TACK AND THE FERGUSON CARBURETOR!
THE TABLE IS BUILT FROM PINE WITH TURNED ASH LEGS. THE TOP IS A 'TWO PLANK TOP' AND HAS OAK AND ASH 'BREAD BOARD ENDS'. TWO SUBSTANTIAL DRAWERS WERE FOR CUTLERY AND LINEN.
THIS TABLE HAS STOOD UP WELL TO THE WORK IT HAS UNDERTAKEN OVER THE LAST 140 YEARS BUT HAS THE GREAT 'LOOK' THAT IS SO SOUGHT AFTER IN RURAL ENGLISH FURNITURE. IT BEATS HANDS DOWN THE ALTERNATIVE CONTINENTAL OFFERINGS ON THE MARKET TODAY.
