Antique table

It might be, or it might be a repro. Only way to tell is by looking at the screws on the lock plates, the jointing on the drawers, and a hundred and one other little bits.

Personally, I'm not keen on 'doing up' things like that unless the patina is really knackered.

All those marks tell a story of two hundred years of use.

Yes he said it’s rosewood. I didn’t explain it well. He has given it to me for nothing.

Nice gift mate ..thick end of 200 years old , there’s no substitute for quality. How many bits of furniture you can buy today will last a quarter of that ..have a look about and see what a nice condition one makes , it might surprise you .Money aside if you like it keep it ..I wouldn’t think of getting rid of it ..

looks nice, perhaps the fella thought you would appreciate the workmanship, there was something of a similar age on an antiques program a few weeks back, bigger dinning table and I'm sure it only made a few £100 shocking really when you consider the quality and age.
