19th Century Cricket Table

Dimensions:
Height – 74cm / Width – 80cm / Depth –80cm

A Provincial, Yorkshire cricket table made of pine and ash displaying the original crusty rusty red brown paint. Circular 3 plank top with under apron, raised on three beautifully turned and tapered legs. Derived from the archetypal three-legged stool or “cricket” the old term for stools, these tables were made to stand on uneven stone flagged floors.

This table has everything we love in a provincial piece of furniture. The pegged three planked top has developed a very pleasant warp which adds much character to the piece. The early rose-head nails in its top suggest 18th century or not much after 1800.
 
Structurally solid and sound with good tight joints.
Character, charm, and signs of age and use a plenty!
Bought from a farm estate sale on the east Coast of Yorkshire.
