Hand-selected in England and carefully imported, it embodies the quiet elegance and ingenuity so often found in the best of English domestic furniture.

At first glance, its modest proportions—with leaves down, measuring 22" wide by 10" deep and standing 18" high—make it ideal for use as a side table or occasional piece. Yet within lies a clever surprise: a delightful spinning mechanism allows the drop-leaf top to open out smoothly and satisfyingly, expanding the depth to a generous 25.5 inches. It’s a marvel of compact design, both pleasing to use and lovely to behold.

The table rests upon a pegged base with a stretcher for added strength and visual interest, all executed in richly grained oak that has taken on a warm, honest patina with age.

Whether serving as a drinks table by the fire or tucked beside a reading chair, this piece brings both utility and quiet charm—an example of English furniture at its most thoughtful and enduring. See less
