Provenance

Sotheby's, Olympia, Property from the Collection of a Gentleman, 25 April, 2007, lot 209

Condition

A lovely colour and attractive pattination. It may be that this table has been reduced in length as the cleated ends feel rather clunky. There is evidence of old worm to one of the boards on the top. There are nail holes to each end of the top. Of pleasing proportions.
