This very attractive side table may have started life as the base of a 17th century chest on stand, as time passed, chest and base were often separated.It is a lovely colour, patina and of excellent proportions. The top is later, the drawer has been rebuilt and the ball feet are replacements. The original brass escutcheon suggests a lock, but there has never been one; locks were very expensive and on country furniture they were not always fitted. The ends are panelled. Clearly, this is not a piece for the purist collector, but it is a 300 years old piece of furniture that is beautiful, useful and sensibly priced. SIZE: 39.5 inches wide, 23.5 inches deep, 30 inches tall. PROVENANCE: Oxfordshire Private Collection. Internal Ref: 9103
Dimensions
Height = 76 cm (30")
