old hall table
« on: December 28, 2012, 03:44:19 pm »
Hi, I'm new to furniture restoration and have bought what I believe to be an old hall table from a local ebay seller.  I don't know anything about it even though i've tried to date it using numerous google searches etc.  The drawer is dovetailed and i believe its by hand not machined.  If you can offer any information at all that would be great.  thank you

Are you in the UK ??   The wood on the back and sides is not the same as the front or the legs and looks like a plywood type !!  Can you tell if it is a solid piece by looking at the edge ??

I would agree on age, 20's - 30's, maybe even very late teens with that style of leg, English oak hall table.  The front drawer just has the nicer slab of oak than the flat sawn sides & back.

No !!  Was referring to gg27 that the front had the nicer slab of wood !! A table that was intended to be seen from 3 sides would have been at least a close match !! Lesser quality was sometimes used on the backs of some tables !!
