Elizabethan Style Oak Carved Table

The table legs feature hand-carved gadrooned lower 'cup' sections under stylized leaf 'covers' (cup and cover) with square section Ionic capitals. The applied gadrooned carved rails have stylized leaf centres and corners. The top is 2" thick and made from 3 planks with cleated ends. The spaces between the planks have been filled with thin oak strips, suggesting 'earlier shrinkage'. Note the remaining tenons of the 'removed' long stretchers on the rear legs. The paired centre stretchers would have been a 'later' modification to satisfy modern preferences for sliding chairs under.
