Description

George III Fiddle back Oak Dining Table

A fantastic very rare country made table.

Here we have the most marvellous example of an original Georgian George III tilt top pedestal dining table, country made in 1798 from the finest fiddle back quarter cut solid Oak. Featuring a plank construction and 7 tapering planks on the top which are tongue and groove jointed together.

Under the amazing figured Oak top whilst we were restoring, we discovered the original makers mark in the form of a paper inscription. Lifting up a loose piece of wood in the pedestal reveals this provenance as the pictures show. We have purposely left this cover loose for viewing and is easily accessible from lightly pushing underneath. The inscription dates the item to 1798 and even describes the exact place the table was made in Shropshire.

The table top stands on its lovely pedestal base incorporating an acorn shape turned pillar which goes to 4 shaped and scratch moulded legs. This fantastic table is in superb condition for its age, the top flips up smoothly and latches on its original brass latch with a satisfying snap. The joints are all as tight as they should be with no wobbles and the top has no open joints or twisting. The top is removable via its 2 original brass headed wing screws.

This table can accommodate 4 chairs and be used as a formal dining room or even a breakfast table.

Please note; This table is in outstanding condition as shown by the photographs however being an antique of this age there are blemishes and scuffs here and there which we feel adds to its originality and heritage.

Also note: the table does show some slight signs of woodworm which has been treated and is non structural.

The chairs are not included but are available separately
