A rare and exceptionally small early 17th century joined oak and walnut 'half-round' table, English, circa 1600-30


Having a single-piece top with six-sided canted front and scribed edge, over four front rails with moulded lower edge, and set between five columnar-turned legs, joined by plain stretchers all round, on turned feet, 58.5cm wide x 28cm deep x 52cm high, (23in wide x 11in deep x 20in high)
|Provenance:A paper label to the underside of the top reads - 'No. 27 a dwarf credence / Property of R. Clifford / Newbury'.The inclusion of a number to the label implies the table was probably included in an exhibition, or was part of a larger collection. To date, no reference to a furniture exhibition/collection relating to R. Clifford has been identified.
