Traditional pine base with a touch of pitch pine plus a rather knotty tabletop. A table of this size and style were common place in churches and cathedrals throughout the 19th and up to the mid 20th century
Practical in scale. Good length and narrow, therefore minimising the space it requires to sit
Wear, wear and some more wear! An abundance of rustic character. Entirely genuine, a survivor in a world of mass production
Raised knots create a tactile scrub top. A pair of drawers sit side by side, above hand turned tapered legs. The size and shape offer an opportunity to use the table as a well proportioned writing desk
Early 20th century brown painted base on tapered legs. Large drawer with original turned knob. Consisting of a two plank scrub top. Authentic and tactile, run your hands over the top and you can feel the raised knots
Quite likely the original dark brown stain, which has crackled and worn. Castors from the same era have been installed, ensuring sufficient leg room for the table to be used as a desk
The top comprises of a three plank scrub top. A contrast to the lower halves darker tones

Positively, the table has a multitude of potential uses. Either as a hall table topped with floral displays. A desk space for that compact home office due to its more than adequate leg clearance. Finally, a small apartment restricted by floor space would give the piece the prime opportunity to be utilised as a petite farmhouse table
Once upon a time, the table was taller and larger. Over the last century, adjustments have been made to cater needs. The last owner, an amateur artist in Suffolk used the table to store paints
Various layers of old paints and stains give the table and interesting and characterful effect
