A Cotswold-style oak refectory dining or library table with carved chevron detailing to the edges of the double-angled ended top. On twin upright legs with 45 degree chamfered edges that unite to the shaped feet, the lower stretcher full length with exposed through tenon details.
Made by students L Reeves and J Hitch both aged 13 years old at The Birmingham School of Arts and Crafts in 1924.
A superior quality table, quite an accomplishment for two thirteen year old boys. Made from hand-picked quarter-sawn oak giving the wonderful figuring of the grain to the top. The triangular ends could seat two people at 45 degrees, with room for two people opposite each other in the middle, seating eight in total. The top has incised carved zig-zag details to the edges with chamfered edges to the four upright legs, united at the bottom with a floor stretcher with through tenon joints chamfered at each end that unite the sculptured and shaped feet, which is mirrored to the underneath of the tabletop.
