Here is a magnificent Elizabethan-style oak refectory table, it is certainly one of the largest antique tables I've come across, seating around an impressive 18 - 20 people comfortably, this would make an outstanding and grand table to dine on! The English oak has a wonderful deep rich brown colour to it , with lighter caramel highlights that run throughout, along with a striking patination, that only age, polish, and wax can achieve! The heavy English oak planked top has cleated ends, and below it has a beautiful hand-carved gadrooned bulge freeze with very large, prominent bulbous legs, cup, and cover swelling enriched with gadrooning and foilage below voluted capitals, terminating on solid block feet united by a low box stretcher.

These beautiful carvings which were very popular from about the last quarter of the 16th century, legs of tables acquired a highly decorative and architectural aspect with considerable turning and carving producing cup-shaped bulbs along the lines of Flemish designs in Europe with their acanthus carving and gadroons.

This magnificent table was acquired from the late English Blues musician Victor Brox which was formly kept in his old Chateau in France.
