A wonderful primitive ash work bench (or an ideal coffee-table). The huge chamfered & well used one piece top is 4” thick and it has a small square cut hole in the top which might suggest that to was originally used by a cobbler and a metal ‘shoe-last’ could be fitted into the hole. With four very sturdy ash legs, which show signs of metal fixings.
A strong and sturdy bench or low table with an interesting and well used surface.
British 19th century.
46½” long x 9½” deep at the top, 15” deep at the legs x 17¾” high.
