Description
Embrace the timeless elegance of the Arts and Crafts movement with this antique solid oak side table. Featuring shaped legs with heart-shaped cutouts and a beautifully carved cross-stretcher, this pieceis a typical example of the handcrafted quality of the era. The traditional pegged or “drawbore” joints ensure strength and durability, creating a sturdy and long-lasting structure without the need for metal fasteners. With its versatile design, this table serves equally well as a bench, stool, side table, or coffee table. It showcases a rich patina and wear consistent with its age, adding to its unique character and charm. Some marks on the top surface reflect its antique heritage, making it a perfect piece for those who value history and craftsmanship (see photos).
The heart-shaped cutouts are a decorative touch typical of the Arts and Crafts style, which often included such motifs to convey warmth and a sense of home. The carved cross-stretcher not only provides stability but also draws the eye with its elegant design. The use of traditional woodworking techniques, such as the drawbore joints—where wooden pegs secure the tenon and mortise—reflects the movement’s philosophy of visible, honest craftsmanship.
History and Context:
The Arts and Crafts movement emerged in the late 19th century as a reaction against the industrial revolution, celebrating the inherent beauty of natural materials and handcraftsmanship. This table represents the movement’s ideals of simplicity, utility, and quality. The style became especially popular in England and the United States, with designs focusing on solid wood construction, minimal ornamentation, and an emphasis on functional beauty. This piece is a wonderful example of that legacy, offering both aesthetic appeal and practical use for modern interiors.
Condition report:
• Overall Condition: Good vintage/antique condition, consistent with age and use.
• Structure: The table is structurally sound with no loose or missing parts. The traditional peg joints (“drawbore joints”) are intact, providing stability and strength.
• Top Surface: The tabletop shows signs of wear, including surface scratches, minor marks, and scuffs, which are consistent with its age and use. There are some visible marks and a light patina that enhances its vintage character (refer to photos).
• Legs and Cross-Stretcher: The legs and carved cross-stretcher are in good condition, with some minor surface wear and scuffing. The heart-shaped cutouts are well-defined with no cracks or chips. The cross-stretcher is securely fitted, with no signs of movement or damage.
• Patina: The piece has developed a rich patina over time, which adds to its character and vintage appeal. There are some small areas where the finish has worn down, revealing the natural oak beneath.
• Pegged Joints: The traditional pegged joints are in good condition with no signs of wear or damage. The joints remain tight.
• Additional Notes:
• There are no signs of active woodworm, rot, or significant structural damage.
• The table is free from any major cracks or splits.
• Conclusion: A well-crafted and charming piece in good condition for its age, with some wear consistent with normal use. The table retains its integrity and presents well for display or use.

Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
