4200-year-old Fenland Black Oak Table. Unique Piece Designed by Terence Conran
About the Item
Fenland Black Oak - also known as 'Bog Oak' is one of the rarest of woods. Carbon dated to CA 4200 years old, the sub-fossilised timber was salvaged from the water meadows of Norfolk. It is stained a distinctive dark brown/black by the combination of iron salts and lack of oxygen in the bog, which also preserved it.
Sir Terence Conran and the team at Benchmark Furniture acquired the unique timber from the landowners who unearthed the ancient tree. The timber was milled on site, and the wood transported to the Benchmark workshops, where it was carefully air dried over the course of 18 months.
This truly one-of-a-kind table was designed by Sir Terence Conran and made by Benchmark in 2015. It features a patinated brass top with bog oak frame and finger jointed detailing.
The table comes with certification of carbon date.
