Object Description
An Extremely Attractive French Provincial Mid 19th Century Fruitwood Farmhouse Kitchen Dining Table, Top Seat 8, Retaining Lovely Warm Colour And Patina Throughout, The Well Figured Rectangular Plank Top Over High Clearance Frieze, With Useful Drawer To One End Retaining Turned Wooden Knob, Raised On Elegant Turned Legs And Feet With Stretcher To Each End.
This is a great example of its type and the dimensions are very functional indeed with it being pretty much the perfect size and shape for just about any kitchen or dining room.
It retains a quite lovely colour and surface to the Fruitwood top, which is also nicely figured and boasts great character and historic charm, 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 only stretchers at each end, which are set a long way into the top and none running horizontally there is never an issue in terms of where to put a persons legs when trying to sit at the table.
There are lots of 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.
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.
