Provenance
Such farmhouse tables are associated with Wales and the Welsh borders. Features indicative of this origin are the tapered leg, the high set stretchers and the multiple pegging on the top planks; usually, though, the top would be of sycamore and the fact that the cleats are cut into on the planks may indicate that the top was longer and therefore may not have always been with this base.
Special notice
No VAT will be charged on the hammer price, but VAT at 17.5% will be added to the buyer's premium which is invoiced on a VAT inclusive basis.
