Antique Tudor Dining Room Table



This period immediately before the English civil war was truly the "Age of Oak." English oak cut from the heart of the tree was the principal wood at that time both for furniture and for buildings, although some of the other native woods were used to some extent. Strength and solidity were characteristics of the period, and furniture of great magnificence was made to furnish the important houses in England. The Tudor rose and linen-fold paneling are characteristic of this period. The influence of the Renaissance was felt in England during the latter part of the period, resulting in more luxurious surroundings in the homes of the wealthier class. Tudor furniture retains the Gothic structure but adds much Renaissance carving and some inlay. This table features large cup and saucer legs, deep carvings and classic design that is sure to impress all who look on it. A row of floral carvings interlaced around the base of the tabletop creates an elegant effect. The cup and saucer legs are wonderfully carved and have a strong carved stretcher between them. The Tudor style accents on the bottom are the perfect touch of charm to separate this table from the rest of the pack. Hideaway extensions offer plenty of room to seat family and guests at all of your meals- from elegant dinner parties to happy holiday feasts! This could even be the perfect library table, or it could make an elegant desk. A great investment that will continue to increase in value as you enjoy its beauty! C519oc169
