Doe and Hope

Description

Sourced from North Wales, the bold and attractive farmhouse estate made table, having a four plank scrub pine top with rounded edges over a black painted base to imposing well-turned baluster legs and rule lined frieze to a single deep drawer with bronze swing handle, the whole surviving from late nineteenth century provincial Wales.

The table is in very good overall condition she stands well and is ready to use. The paintwork is nicely time-worn.

Provincial and estate made furniture was made in the provinces or rural districts, typically in the United Kingdom and France and also rural districts of Italy and holds a rural, country or farmhouse flavour, typically less flamboyant than fast changing fine furniture trends initiated in royal courts over past centuries.

A very strong look and just as useful as it was way back when.
