    Hi i have a Jacobean style table here.

    There are some screws here and there and I'm trying to work out if they are original or put in after. The table is a pineapple legged Jacobean "style".

    Its old but not sure how old. Im aware there are some pretty blatant repair works to the top frame. I'm no furniture expert so looking forward to hearing from you guys and learning. 20170730_115813-min.jpg

    Any information is as always very helpful and much appreciated.

    Looking forward to hearing from everyone. Dan 20170730_115717-min.jpg 20170730_115724-min.jpg 20170730_115808-min.jpg 20170730_115827-min.jpg 20170730_115846-min.jpg 20170730_115839-min.jpg 20170730_115832-min.jpg

    Probably 1920s Jacobean Revival.

    May 3rd, 1926 @ 2:50 P.M. EXACTLY! J/K , i have no idea really but thinks afantiques is correct, 20th century, Jacobean Revival.
    "The table is a pineapple legged"
    Those are called "orbs", popular in the Elizabethan period.

    Machine tooling is what I see. Not available in Jacobean times.

    LOL, no, i don't think so. Those orbs were very popular in Elizabethan times in the UK, usually carved as a decorative feature.

    LOL, yeah, i hear you. Sometimes referred to as "mellon supports" or "cup & cover", they were often heavily carved, a way for ye ol wood carver to show off his skills which, during that period were considerable. I call them elizabethan orbs, just easier all around!

    My first clue was the melon carvings....obviously laminated of more that one piece of wood......in the original period it would have been crafted of a single "trunk" of wood. Thick pieces of wood were much more available then, as opposed to this century.

    Have looked at both threads and see nothing to contradict what you have been told by others here. Still have not seen the top. Think this is an important detail to have been omitted.

    This is way off thread & probably against forum rules but for anyone interested in period early oak furniture, Paul Fitzsimmons operates Marhamchurch Antiques across the pond. Gorgeous stuff! i only wish it was american!
