RARE AND FINE WILLIAM & MARY WAINSCOT CARVED OAK TRAY TOP TEA TABLE.

1st half 18th century, England. The two board rectangular top with applied molded edge projecting above the delicately scalloped apron, raised on blocked ring-and baluster-turned delicately splayed legs joined by rectangular box stretcher terminating in baluster-and ball-turned feet. *NOTE* The consignor brought this table to Alan Miller for his inspection and analysis who felt that this was an extremely rare English table, completely carved and assembled of Wainscot lumber. The legs and stretchers made from the thickest timber available. During the 17th and 18th century this very rare and desirable white oak was harvested by the Germans in the Black Forest. The lumber was shipped to England and Holland where it was sold at the docks to cabinet shops and lumber merchants. In England the most common use was in the manufacture of Wainscot chairs.
