Description:
This is an exceptional quality antique continental oak centre table, of rectangular shape, decorated with a stunning star-shaped parquet top, incorporating ebony and other woods, on a quattro column pedestal, with a tilting mechanism, circa 1860, in excellent original condition. An ideal table to be placed in the centre of a room, for display purposes, or to be used a dining or games table. The rectangular table top comprises a stunning quality star-shaped parquet design, with the outline of the star, defined in ebony wood, bordered by an outer geometrical zig-zag pattern, all constructed with different cuts of oak in a wonderful configuration, displaying the magnificent medullary rays in the quarter sawn oak sections. The top is finished with moulded edge on a recessed frieze, decorated with reeded curved corners.

The top is hinged and can be positioned vertically, to enable the table to be stored away. The table top can be locked horizontally to the pedestal base with the two brass locking bolts on the underside of the table. The table can be removed from the pedestal base by un-screwing two large brass hinge bolts, to allow for easy through doorway or transportation. The oak centre table is raised on a central pedestal, comprising four decorative shaped columns that stand above four bar shaped cross-sectional scroll shaped feet, that terminate on its original ceramic castors.

This continental oak table boasts a lovely mellow patination and colour, having been cleaned and French polished in our workshop, along with the years of care and cleaning it has received.

This Victorian oak centre table would look superb in a variety of rooms from the dining / living room or the hallway. The table would certainly grace any traditional or contemporary home and is a great investment, as not only is it functional but also very attractive.
