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 color 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 color 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-seat, 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.) Measures: Height 31.5in Width 69in Depth 32in Height of clearance from floor to undercarriage 24.5in.
