Historic Oak Pair of Tables

A wonderful pair of oak and teak topped tables from the famous Arnold Public School in Blackpool alumni included from the list of Academics, Athletes and Business persons etc include Sir William Lyons - Co-founder of Jaguar Cars, Michael Smith - Nobel Prize Winner, Jimmy Armfield Cbe - 43 caps for England football team and captained 15 times, Tom Graveney - 79 tests for English Cricket, John Pritchard - Current Bishop of Oxford, Geoffrey Thompson - Owner of Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Jenna-Louis Coleman - Actor (Current Dr Who Companion, Emmerdale, Captain America). These are the longer tables of those that we acquired from the school's amalgamation with The King Edward school that was in close proximity. Fully restored to a limed oak finish with all the drawers being re-lined and large Victorian iron handles to the fronts. The teak tops have numerous toned down marks and blemishes, but also have the most beautiful colour and figuring. Generally school furnishings had to be of a superior quality due to the forthcoming attention they will receive off decades of children who would prefer to be somewhere else. Solid as a rock and easily ready for the next hundred years.
