"A WILLIAM AND MARY OAK GATELEG TABLE, CIRCA 1700, the oval top is raised on a narrow frame with paired, elaborately turned supports on moulded plinths linked by a central stretcher, on paired scrolled feet; the twin gates have moulded rails and turned posts, and the frame is braced by moulded diagonal struts, 70cm x 32cm (closed) or 108cm (open), x 103cmThis rare table is a development of the much simpler single-baluster and panel-ended gateleg tables made in England from c.1650 onwards. They are characterised by a very narrow centre board hinged to deep leaves, giving the maximum surface area when open while occupying least possible space when closed. A well-documented example of the panel-ended version, dating from c.1670, survives at Ham House, Surrey, and baluster-ended examples survive in considerable numbers. However, only a handful of these more sophisticated variants are known.The table is made entirely from quarter-cut oak, probably Dutch‚ `wainscot` oak, and the construction is unusually precise. Despite its delicate appearance it is strongly made, with foxed through-tenons used to joint the gates. The moulded X brace could be an afterthought, however, because the one weakness of the design is that there is no proper frame beneath the top, which allows the table to rack if treated roughly; many tables of this form have braces fitted to counteract this problem. The use of screwed hinges, rather than nailed, is another indication of quality.The quality of the table`s construction is complimented by its detailing. The maker was clearly well versed in the Classical orders; the mouldings are architecturally correct, with abacuses to the tops of the pillars and a full cornice moulding immediately beneath the top. The turnings to the end pillars are unusually complex, and reflect to some degree the turnings found on contemporary caned and upholstered chairs. This is clearly a sophisticated urban product, probably London made.Interestingly, the narrow bed, deep leaved table was revived in the 19th century as the so called‚`Sutherland` table.Literature:

-Click here to bid -   19?? Austin Champ General Service ‘Cargo Truck’  Reg.no. TAR 26D Chassis no. tba Engine no. tba  A British Army specification for a light truck was issued in the late 1940s, inspired by the jeep but able to perform in all areas of the British Army. It was considered important that a British-made vehicle was produced in order to reduce the reliance on US vehicles and the foreign expenditure that entailed. The project was launched in 1947 and by 1951 the Austin Motor Company was awarded the contract to produce 15,000 vehicles. This example is a basic Cargo Truck, so was not fitted with high output generators and additional batteries. We understand that it last ran about three years ago and has been dry-stored ever since. Much work has been carried out over the years including the fitting of a replacement engine sourced from Hursts of Doncaster. In addition a new front axle and a reconditioned rear axle have been fitted. The universal joints have been restored; it has been fitted with new brake cylinders and new brake shoes. The Champ has done very little work since the fitting of these parts. Areas of bodywork have also been replaced where necessary including both outer sills and partial floor pan. There will be some spares sold with this car, which have been collected by the vendor, although these do not indicate that their counterparts require replacing. It is also sold with a starter handle, a wheel brace, a workshop manual and a V5c. This Champ will require re-commissioning following this period of storage.
