Early 19th Century French Chestnut Farmhouse Dining Table

A Charming Early 19th Century French Chestnut Farmhouse 
Dining Table Having Very Well Figured Four Plank Top Over
Two Frieze Drawers Raised On Faceted Turned Legs Retaining
Exceptional Rich Colour And Patina Throughout

(A superb example of its type this early 19th century farmhouse 
table is much earlier in date than the majority of similar tables 
found on the market. It has also retained a wonderful rich colour 
and patina to the chestnut which itself is less commonly used than
oak, or pine, or even various fruitwoods. It features two drawers to 
the frieze, one in the end and one in the side, rather than the usual 
one you would find. It is also a most comfortable 8 seater, no matter
what the style of chairs you put around it. On the subject of chairs 
there is no concerns here with low stretchers between the legs 
making the table awkward to sit at and at some point historically 
somebody has sympathetically added an inch or two to the bottom
of the legs to make up for the wood that has no doubt rotted away 
after standing on damp stone floors for much of its life, meaning that 
there is good clearance from the floor to the undercarriage of the table
and it is comfortable for any size person to sit at. In summary a 
beautiful table with a huge amount of character and 
function ready to go straight into the home. )
