About the Item

English Jacobean Early 17th Century Oak Refectory Table of large proportions, extraordinary and rare for its H-form stretcher configuration, which enables more comfortable sitting and dining, having the stretchers in the middle and not around the base. The massive three-plank top is supported by six carved cup and cover melon-supports. The table was most likely made to be taken apart for moving and re-assembly in situ, as each part has incised marks at the joint, corresponding to one-an-other. There are numerous inscribed dates, initials and names in the tops surface which makes one guess that the table was probably for some time in an institution and subject to rather rough treatment. Seats 12-14 people. The table has been photographed in "as found" condition and shows wear and old restoration. Clean-up, conservation beeswax polish will be done by our restorers at no additional charge.

17th Century Oak Refectory Table, Charles II Period
Located in Lymington, GB
A rare English 17th-century oak refectory table. Charles II-period, ca 1675. The three-plank cleated detachable top is of superb color, figuring and patination. Raised on six baluster supports united by stretchers. The frieze is guilloche-carved on all four sides: this demonstrates that this table can be free-standing. Many of these were only carved on three sides. This versatile refectory table can be used as a hall table, dining table, serving table, or a wonderful kitchen table. A number of early oak pieces which we have sold have harmonized very well with modern interiors. A similar-sized refectory table (in generally poor condition) sold for £17,000.00 plus buyer's premium, in Duke's auctioneers ATHELHAMPTON HOUSE sale, Puddletown, Dorset, UK, 9th Oct, 2019. Nb. The turning of the supports on this antique table indicates a development away from an earlier, heavy, carved bulbous leg, to a simpler baluster leg of the late-seventeenth century. However the guilloche-carved frieze is a hint of an earlier period. Some historic restoration commensurate with 350 years of use. Overall in superb condition. Dimensions: 8’5’' L. (256.5 cm) 2’8’' W. (81 cm) 2'7'’ H. (79 cm). Literature: R. W. Symonds 'The Present State of Old English Furniture...
