Sale price£1,295.00 GBP

Adjusted taxes, and duties included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

An elegant antique oak side table featuring slender bobbin-turned legs that lend an unexpected lightness to its rustic character. The closely spaced turnings soften into elongated shapes towards the feet, beneath a simple rectangular top edged with a low gallery along the back and sides. A single drawer with a small brass knob sits within the apron, where the oak’s lively grain contributes to its charm.

There is something lovely about the elegance of these legs beneath such a rustic little table. We can easily imagine it beside a bed, with a lamp and a few books, or pulled into a sitting room as an occasional table. The turnings bring just enough detail to make that small corner feel considered.

  • Solid oak with a warm, aged patina
  • Hand-turned bobbin legs
  • Single drawer and low gallery top

Our Restoration Work

Preserving Craft and Character

Restoration at Attica is shaped by respect for history and a commitment to integrity. Each stage is approached with care and appreciation, preserving the honesty of the antique while preparing it to endure for generations to come.

Sourcing the Piece

We select antiques from reputable sources and well-kept homes, dating each carefully and seeking out strong structures and remarkable features. Every choice is made with an eye for quality and potential, ensuring the piece can be restored with integrity.

Inspection and Cleaning

Each piece is examined thoroughly and cleaned with care, uncovering its history along with any issues hidden beneath the surface. This process reveals what must be preserved, what requires attention, and how best to respect the original work.

Structural Restoration

Where structure has weakened, we work with period timber and traditional methods, keeping each repair faithful to its time. Veneers and solid timber panels are restored where needed, ensuring the piece regains its strength without losing authenticity.

Contributing with Care

For some pieces, a gentle revival of the finish is all that is needed to bring their character back to life. Others invite a more considered touch, where carefully selected elements may be introduced to enrich the design. For pieces of historical or collectible significance, our approach is one of preservation, allowing their history to remain whole.

Finishing the Work

The process ends with patient finishing, where surfaces are carefully revived and protected in a way that honours the passage of time. Waxes and polishes are applied with restraint, preserving the subtle marks and character that speak of age. The result is furniture that carries its history forward with dignity, prepared to live on in a new space.
