Lot 223: A Pair of Mid-20th Century Oak Drop-Leaf Side Tables
Not sold
This lot comprises a pair of oak side tables in the Tudor Revival style. Each table features a rectangular top with rounded edges and two drop-leaf extensions. The leaves are supported by pull-out wooden sliders located beneath the central fixed section of the tabletop. The base of each table is constructed with four turned baluster legs joined by a floor-level stretcher. The outer faces of the stretchers are decorated with a carved nulling or thumb-mould pattern. The construction incorporates recessed metal hinges secured with Phillips-head screws and modern wing-nut fasteners on threaded bolts. No maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on either item.
Condition report:
The tables show signs of moderate use and environmental exposure. The tabletops exhibit visible surface scratches, areas of finish wear, and sections of raised wood grain (photos 1, 2, and 3). There is noticeable wear and paint loss to the metal hinges (photo 5). A minor vertical split is visible in the wood surrounding a modern wing-nut fastener on the underside (photo 6). The carved stretchers show occasional light scuffs to the raised details.
