Hall Table in Burr Elm & Maple
Edward Wild Furniture
This beautiful hall table is handmade from rippled ornamental maple, with a burr elm top and floating drawer. The burr elm top is a quarter match, meaning the top is made up of 4 matching pieces of wood forming an interesting pattern in the centre of the table. The top is framed by a thin line of dark 5,300-year-old bog oak, this is replicated on the drawer front.
The frame of the table is made from ornamental maple which has a more golden colour than standard maple with a strong ripple pattern that shimmers with changing light. Finished with French polishing involving the application of many thin coats of shellac and oils to bring the wood grain to life leaving it with a beautiful lustre and sheen and with a final coat beeswax. Also available in burr walnut with a walnut frame, burr chestnut with a maple frame and burr oak with an oak frame.
