Last week I installed an Orme Table that we have had in stock for around 2 to 3 years , on one of the knee panles is a label for a repair by Orme in 1936 for the Rev Cannon Algernon Fearnley Cyril Youens , who is the late Vicar of Brodsworth village Church near Doncaster .
I would say the table was made around 1910 - 20 .
It has a very nice rare Burr oak Finnish to the side and ends of the frame , with very nice carved legs , also the trim is solid Ebony .
It was a joy to errect, having a very good set of slates in near perfect condition .
The polishing and wood work repairs we had done by a reputable finnisher of wood as we have no in house Polishing , and I must say the finnish is spot on , having a matt sheen that realy shows off the Grain of the burr oak .
This table when it came into stock was in very poor state , some of the legs where missing half of the wood turning , the cushions where in very poor state also , having spent a good few years in a Police station canteen , having 6 foot burly Policemen lean all over the table .
I used to service this table every 3 months in the Police station and often looked at the burr oak and thought , this table must have come from a very nice country house in its past , it was only on dismantle that I found the label to the rear of a knee panel , this gave us enough to research its history , and many thanks to Rev Youens Great Grand daughter who is an Editor for a well known top end country Magazine , for the information that connects the table to her Family and History of Brodsworth church Hall .
Where it came from to Rev Youens we do not know , some think it came from Brodsworth Hall as the church is in the grounds of the Hall , but they have a table allready in the billiard room which is a little older than the Orme , so doubt that it came from there .
more like another nearby country house was where it originaly came form .
