antique 18c georgian elm oak tilt top side occasional supper table

Antique 18C Georgian elm and fruitwood tilt top side occasional supper table.This is a fantastic piece of elm country furniture that is very rare and hard to find.Elm is a wood similar to oak, however it usually has a lighter colour, with a very distinctive character, appearance and grain pattern.A lovely piece of antique furniture of with the huge sense of age that only period elm can give.With a great colour, age and patina, this table has an attractively turned stem with a characterful tripod base.Better than most.Solid with no loose joints and the tilt mechanism works ok.Would look great in the right location.Dimensions: Overall 770mmL x 580mmW x 740mmH.There are loads of historic knocks, marks, cracking, scratches, repairs and alterations, as is to be expected for this type of antique furniture. There have been historic repairs /alterations to the tripod base and there is some metal strapping underneath (but it is all solid now). There is distortion in the top and base as is usual and adds to the charm of this piece. There is a later catch. The top has been recently refinished, but it retains much of its character and patina. There are some historical wood worm holes that have been treated for good measure....this is to be expected with elm.Stock no. 2880.DeliveryWe can organise competitive UK and WORLDWIDE shipping.For the UK, we offer a one man delivery as standard (see details under 'Shipping' below)....please remember that this is a large fragile item, needing to be handled safely and with care, when evaluating our charges (which are usually less than our true costs).· Collection - Free by appointment.· Local deliveries, within 25 miles - £35 (please allow approximately 1 week)· Mainland England and Wales - £75 (2 to 3 weeks)· Scotland, excluding islands and highlands - £95 (3 to 4 weeks)· For multiple purchases, the total charge will be that stated for the most expensive delivery item, plus 50% of the charges quoted for the other items.· Other areas, 2 man delivery, or special arrangements - please contact us. *CLICK HERE TO VISIT OUR EBAY SHOP WITH AROUND 500 ITEMS OF ANTIQUE FURNITURE*
