Excellent colour and condition.

4 Panel Oak Box Settle c.1780.

In need of a little restoration but what a superb piece of country furniture. This handsome oak box settle with a generous seat and four panel back is a new arrival here at the shop this morning. Dating from the late 1700's it is a great mellow colour and with tons of storage below the lift up lid this is a very practical as well as a good looking antique.

Very Large Edwardian Oak Double Gate Leg Table.

New this morning is this excellent quality 8 seater Edwardian oak drop leaf table. A double gate leg base with substantial carved barley twist legs and stretchers. In good solid condition requiring only a polish over. When fully open the top measures an impressive 60" x 77".
