18th.c.Oak Gate Leg Table

We have several oak drop leaf tables in at the moment but this is by far the pick of the bunch. Interesting how small details can make a big difference to the desirability of a piece of furniture. As well as being a good size (easily seats 6), a good colour, with a useful drawer in one end and being a date of around 178o, what makes this one stand out from the crowd is its feet. Most furniture from this period stood on stone floors and has suffered from rot caused by damp, consequently many of these tables have been 'tipped' with new feet. This one appears to have survived unscathed and is original throughout.
