  1. There is something special about colour .

    When it comes to country furniture ,you expect freshly opened conkers,toffee and honey swirls and a knotty grain, also signs of a hard working life and appreciation by there owners as in the care they bestowed upon them.

    Well lets hope these items tick all the boxes.

    18th century country drop flap table

    A 18th Century oak Table With A Double Gate Action And Single Flap.

    This table has a church feel to it,as in it is a small refectory with a country twist, i could see it as an altar table and then as a dining table,although of simple design it has elegant open spandrels and turnings.

    primitive stick chair hay

    This 18th Century Primitive Stick Chair .

    Recently purchased from a private collection in East Sussex where it has sat for the past twenty five years,this chair has a wonderful curved rail which is all knarly and knotted but with a glass like finish over a stirred toffee colour and also showing traces of brown paint.

    Another nice touch is that all the rails are single pegged to the rail,primitive but still made by a trades man.

    country oak and pine table 1

    I love the simplicity of this small table,it has an 18th century oak base with single draw and a victorian pine plank top,the colour is fantastic and it is one to stroke and smile of small size there is always the question is it a childs table or just a cottage piece,it does not matter it just is a true country table that has been loved over the years and regularly dusted and cleaned to give it its wonderful colour and presence.
