Small 17th Century Oak Gateleg Table

An absolutely charming small oak gateleg table dating from the late 17th century, with intricate bobbin and ring turned legs and stretchers. The table has good colour and patination. It is an ideal height for use as a side table next to a sofa or chair.

The turned legs and stretchers on this table are incredible - the oak rings/fillets in between the bobbins are so fine that it is hard to comprehend how they were worked so beautifully on what must have been, well over three hundred years ago, a fairly primitive lathe. I have tried to show how delicate they are in the photos. The top is a good colour and opens out to an oval shape. A really beautiful little table.

Condition: The delicacy of the turning on the legs and stretchers has meant that some of the rings have been damaged, and there are chips to some of these throughout - please see the photos. There are signs of old woodworm infestation in places and we have treated it as a precaution where possible. The feet have had metal tips added at some point, presumably to protect the feet.

Dimensions:

Width - 78cm

Length - 94cm with both leaves open, 39cm with both leaves down.

Height - 60.5cm
