Lot description

English Georgian oak drop-leaf baker's table or work table, late 18th c., having rectangular top with one drop leaf, above single drawer, rising on tapering squared legs, ending on flared front feet, open: approx 30.5"h, 48"l, 29"w, closed: approx 30.5"h, 48"l, 16"w Provenance: The lifetime collection of Lynn Roth Jordan (Louisiana, Texas, 1943-2021). As an active member of the Austin Antiques Club for many years, Lynn was deeply embedded in the antiques community here in Austin. Her New Orleans upbringing in a family of collectors (many of the pieces come from her mother's estate), combined with her frequent trips to England, gave her a unique understanding of provenance, quality, and historical significance. The estate features an extensive array of English furniture alongside antique decorative objects, the kind of exceptional pieces that only reveal themselves to collectors who know where to look and what to seek.
