Albeit English oak was only fashionably used for a short period of time in the late 19th Century to construct large extending dining tables it was a period of great wealth in the UK so sufficient were made of the quality to survive and today provide some choice in original Victorian tables of sizes 8ft to 26ft length. Oak is naturally a golden honey colour once seasoned for 100 years but in the finishing process we can achieve anything from a bleached flotsam and jetsam look through to a dark Jacobean. Finishes can be natural wax, hard durable lacquer or classic French polish.
