The table features a substantial solid plank top with rich grain character and a warm, naturally aged patina. It is supported by five hand-turned barley-twist legs, including a central support leg, providing enhanced structural integrity and balance.

The presence of the center leg is a hallmark of quality construction, designed to prevent sagging over time and allowing for the table’s generous proportions and solid materials. Clean lines and functional form place the piece within the Colonial Revival movement, while the honest construction and minimal ornamentation reflect Arts & Crafts principles.

Versatile in scale and form, this table functions equally well as a library table, dining table, or writing desk. Its solid oak construction, center support, and timeless profile make it especially appealing to designers seeking authentic, well-made pieces that ground a space without overpowering it.

Condition Notes

Minor surface wear consistent with age and use. Finish has been refreshed while preserving original character. Structurally sound and stable, with no looseness at joints.

The center support leg was used to prevent sagging and extend the life of solid wood tables — a detail rarely seen in later or lower-quality pieces.

Yes those are not metal replacement wheels, those are original wood!!
