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.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
