This is a great example of its type and slightly wider than many which makes it very functional indeed, resulting in it being pretty much the perfect size and shape for just about any kitchen or dining room.

It retains a quite exceptional colour and surface to the top, which is also extremely well figured and boasts incredible character, as can be seen by the extensive images. The end drawer is also a useful little addition and overall its just a lovely table.

The base is attractive, with no structural defects to speak of and this results in the table being particularly robust and solid. It is also very much worth noting that with no stretchers low down between the legs there is never an issue in terms of a persons legs when trying to sit at the table, or indeed when trying to tuck chairs under it. There is the usual old marks, scuffs, scrapes, dents and repairs which one would expect on a functional item of furniture this old, but these are all historic and of course add greatly to the overall character.

There are many farmhouse dining type tables on the market for sale, but few will measure up to this one in terms of its combination of function, elegance and condition.

As with all items which we offer for sale it has been naturally wax polished, in the traditional manner, by our specialist antique furniture restorers before being offered for sale, ensuring it is ready to be placed straight into the home.
