Description:
This table would have been used in a country property in France during the 2nd Empire period. The table, which comfortably seats up to six persons, features a beautiful cleated thee-plank cherry wood top, and would be ideal for the smaller kitchen. Below, the table features a single chestnut lined drawer, which retains its original brass knob. The table frame and top, which is constructed in the traditional peg construction, sits on four pretty but sturdy tapering block legs. The table is well constructed, stands firm on the ground and is ready to use.
Condition Report:
This table is in good original condition. The drawer is chestnut lined, with the original brass knob. There are no water stains or cup marks to the top of the table. Nominal old use marks to the top and leading edges but nothing significant considering the age of the item. Evidence of historical woodworm (which you will find in all antique French fruit wood furniture), which has been thoroughly treated. The table boasts a rich cherry wood colour. As it boasts the original polish, it has a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received. The table is solid in joint and ready to use.
