Beautiful and authentic Dutch Renaissance table made in solid oak. It has a three plank top with a nice distressed appearance. It stands on four baluster shaped legs, so called 'bolpoten'. It has a moulded apron and stretcher base giving stability and durability to the table. The top comes off easily due to the mortise and tenon construction. This table originates in the Netherlands and dates circa 1670. This table has clearly been used and it shows the marking of many years of duty. These tables were used for dining, working and other purposes. They were generally used extensively and that would leave markings. This particular table has small pieces of timber inserted in its top. The aprons on the short sides are made in solid pine, while the rest of the table is made in solid oak. Presumably they have been replaced a long while ago. Also the baluster shaped turned legs show woodworm holes. This has been professionally dealt with. The stretcher shows the wear one would expect in accordance with the rest of the table. The table has been in our workshop and the table is now very sturdy again. We've stripped the table of the many layers of wax and stain. It was than polished lightly, showing the warm and natural color of centuries old oak. It is now a perfect candidate for a centre table or dining table.
