A rare and important oval joined gateleg table of early form. With well shaped bold spiral
barley twist legs and stretchers. Good thick top with
wonderful mellow dark oak color and patina. Supported by
full height bold vase shaped feet. English. Circa 1690.
This Table is similar in form to a
table shown in an important reference book (without the
central decorated stretcher) on page 311 figure 3:234.
