Description
Antique (or possibly vintage) large old wooden workbench made in the 1920s probably, though it's difficult to tell which part of the first half of the 20th century really, or could even be late 1800s. It would make a fantastic kitchen island or café table. It's very long and narrow: the top is made out of one piece of timber; that probably indicates an older age. Not sure what timber as it's so gnarly and blackened but I don't think it's pine. It's very heavy but I tend toward beech rather than oak. It's really solid too: the legs have been cut into the top with massive tenon joints and there are full length stretchers below. I don't really want to sell this so it's expensive.

declaration
Barnaby's of Battle has clarified that the Very Long Narrow Antique Workbench (LA519964) is genuinely of the period declared with the date/period of manufacture being 1920s
condition
There's no discernible movement in the joints. There's some old worm and rot damage to the leg bases but it hasn't affected the structural strength much. Yes it's quite oily, painty, dirty perhaps (though we gave it a good washing with sugar soap) but everything I can say about its condition: holes, grooves, gashes, nail heads, scratches, dents and so on, are all positive features in my (superbly tasteful..) opinion. Fully treated for historic woodworm which speckles it here and there.
