18th century French walnut coffee table

The Piece

About this piece

This is an untouched 18th century solid walnut coffee table. The top is incredible, the sheen, the patina, the colour all honest and could only ever have been achieved from years of use. The large drawers offers a generous storage place and runs smoothly. The whole piece is simple and attractive, made all the better for the top which is thick walnut planks. 

The base has wear and evidence of historic woodworm, but all treated. The top has a loss to one corner but only adds to the character.

Height 44cm Width 120cm Depth 76cm
