Oak chapel table, with provenance

Another hand-made, craftsman style solid oak table.

The legs have pie-crust mouldings and the front apron has an ornate shaped design. The solid oak top boards have been planed from the original rough boards from the timber yard (there are markings from the sawmill yard on the underside)

The table was made in 1958 by a Mr Burke for the "Little Chapel" in Redditch, Worcestershire. Attached to the underside of the table, as proof of provenance, is an original letter of thanks to Mr Burke from a Mr Stanley Taylor, a member of the chapel.

Acquired at auction, refinished and for sale on etsy. - NOW SOLD
