Rare 12ft 'Hedge School' Pine Library Table
Ref: 3571
In her classic book on Irish Country Furniture Claudia Kinmonth describes a 6ft Irish peasant table with stretchers as rare so one wonders what she would make of this beast. It is unusual not just for it's exceptional length but also for it being a library table - library tables are often finer objects than this in pitch pine or hardwood - this one being pine and in the peasant style came in all likelihood from a country school.
