Description: Here is a fine quality antique English George III oak occasional side table, circa 1790, displaying a lovely rich deep colour, in excellent condition.  A table of this type would have been made for simple country dwelling. The table incorporates a gorgeous twin-plank top, displaying fine medullary rays, with flame mahogany cross banding and a moulded edge.  Below is a single working drawer, which boasts further cross banding, as well as cock beading, to the front. The drawer is hand dovetailed and oak lined, featuring old replacement period brass handles and escutcheons, which were probably added during the Victorian period. The drawer runs smoothly and closes flush to the frame. The table is raised on four canted legs. The table features the original top and backboard to the rear; the frame has been constructed in the traditional joined manner for that period. The item is solid in joint and ready to use.

This item features a lovely rich dark oak colour. As it boasts the original polish, 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 living room to the hallway, or useful as a writing table. 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.
