About the Item

Antique Country Irish White Oak Desk or Writing Table Made in the late 1700's and still appears to be unrestored and to our eyes, that is a very good thing. Look at the colour of the Oak top and try to imagine someone good enough to copy what over 200-years of use created; good luck, almost impossible to duplicate. Even the feel of the Antique Oak after all that use gets silky smooth especially when combined with the natural oils from your hands. All these small nuances add up to make for an incredible 18th century Antique Irish Oak Desk with a pair of oversized drawers strong enough to go for another 200-years of use.

Antique Irish Pine Kitchen Table with a Great Scrubbed Pine Top c1880-1890
Located in Chicago, IL
Antique Irish Pine Kitchen Table dating from around 1880-1890. The most interesting aspect of our Antique Irish Pine Small Table is the Patina of the Scrubbed Pine Top. Try as we might, there is simply no way to duplicate a real 100-year-old patina. In order to preserve the patina of the pine, we chose to coat it with paraffin wax and not simply apply a coat of beeswax. The real difference between the two waxes is the length of time in which they last. Beeswax is maybe good for a few months of use, while a good coating of paraffin will last for years. Yes, it does take several hours to apply, but not only does it look terrific, but is feels good to the touch. We all facilitated between stripping off the old white paint or leaving it was is and you can see we left the old white crumbly and cracked paint as is. This is the description from the Antique expert in Ireland: "19th C. painted pine kitchen server...
