Georgian Oak Drop-Leaf Table c.1790

Georgian Oak Drop-Leaf Table c.1790 A Georgian period country oak drop-leaf dining table, dating to around 1790. The rectangular top with twin hinged leaves supported on gatelegs, the whole raised on square-section legs. A small drawer with brass handle to one end. Of practical size, this is a good example of vernacular Georgian furniture with a warm colour and visible grain to the timber. Structurally solid but with some expected rickety-ness to the gatelegs and a degree of surface wear and distortion to the leaves commensurate with age and country use. One or two old marks and minor blemishes as seen, but a serviceable and honest antique. Dimensions: 104 cm wide (leaves down) 46 cm deep 72 cm high English, c.1790
