This lovely big chunk of furniture appears to have spent a while being used as a workbench. When we acquired it there was a crude stainless steel top, which we were hoping was covering a nice original wooden top, but sadly it wasn’t to be. We have therefore made a new worktop for it out of two planks of sycamore, which is what was used most commonly or dairy/preparation tables. I don’t know how old the paint finish is, but it is nicely worn and the pale yellow underneath looks good against the blue. We have given it a light clean but have otherwise left it as it was. The table could of course be re-painted, or stripped back to bare wood if a different look was desired. The drawers have chunky brass cup handles, which are not original but suit it well.
Condition: As mentioned, the table has spent the latter years of its life in a workshop and has various marks and stains to the paint. The paint is heavily worn in places, especially on the corners of the legs. The blue paint layer is a little loose and flaky in places. The drawers have had new bases fitted at some point, and we have done a bit of work to them to make them run as smoothly as possible, though they do still require a little lift to shut completely. There is a stable crack in the central drawer front. The top is new and has been treated with an invisible finish oil so that it retains the appearance of bare wood, but has some protection against spills and stains.
