Description:
This is an unusual and pretty antique English Charles II style oak drop-leaf occasional side table, constructed during the Victorian period from earlier 18th century timbers, circa 1850, in excellent condition. It was common for country furniture to be constructed from earlier 18th century timbers during the time; with cabinetmakers using whatever was to hand or available locally. You could say it was the first form of environmental recycling! The table features a simple, straight-edged oval top with two drop leaves which, when folded out, combine to create a circular top. The drop leaves each rest on two pull-out supports, which also retain their original round brass knobs. The table can be used with either one or two drop leaves; therefore, it is a versatile piece, perfectly suited either against a wall or in the centre of a room. It is also small enough to be stored away when not in use. Below the top, the frame boasts a shaped reeded frieze, which is raised on four bulbous, ring turned legs, united by four stretchers for supporting strength. The table has been constructed using the traditional pegged construction.
The table boasts a superb mid to dark brown oak colour and it is in excellent original condition. It has a fantastic colour and patination this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
This item would look superb in a variety of rooms from the dining room, living room or the hallway. The table would certainly grace any home or office and is a great investment, as it is extremely functional. So, don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely piece of furniture.

Delivery times are usually 1-4 weeks depending on location; we aim to deliver the majority of items within 2 weeks. All items are professionally packaged and fully insured in transit; therefore, we can assure you, your items will be securely protected in transit and arrive safely with you.
Once you have purchased an item, we will contact you by email and/or telephone and provide you with a provisional delivery date, in order for you to confirm if it is suitable for you. Once you have confirmed you can accept delivery on the provisional delivery date, we will book the delivery in with our shippers and it then becomes a confirmed delivery date.
We will also provide you with our shippers’ contact details, in case you need to contact the driver on the day of delivery. It’s helpful if you can provide us with both the landline and mobile telephone number, in case the driver cannot reach you on one of the numbers on the day of delivery, they can contact you on your alternative number.
In order to be able to offer you free delivery, it is based on a 1-man delivery only. For any large items that require 2 people to lift the item, we ask that you are available at the time of delivery to be able to give our shipper a lift off the van and into your house with the item. If you are not able to lift items yourself, we ask that you have someone on hand at the time of delivery to assist our shipper with lifting the item.
