A very nice example of a George III period, shaped drop-leaf, large dining table in excellent condition, made from good quality solid mahogany and seating up to eight, with the four straight legs chamfered on the inside, two of the legs rotating 90 degrees outwards to support the large and shaped flaps. 

Lovely patination and grain.

There's plenty of height to the table, so it's comfortable to sit at - no squashed legs.

No repairs or restoration, with all original screws and hinges underneath.

This table has had a very easy life! It's been in the same family since 1910 - only being used on special occasions - and before that, it could have been at Ickworth House, see provenance below.

Provenance:

My father, Peter Harding of Quainton, Buckinghamshire, researched the table while researching and creating a family tree. He writes:

"The Bury St Edmunds Table.

Rhoda Smith, born 19th July 1880, at Fornham All Saints, Suffolk came to work as a Laundry Maid at Waddesdon Manor, Bucks. Here she met George Harding and they were married on 27th December 1905 at St James, Bury St Edmonds.

As part of setting up her home in Waddesdon she brought with her the two-leaf, mahogany table, which was always displayed with great pride in the family house. It is not known where Rhoda obtained this table from but it is thought it may have come from the Ickworth Park estate.

Rhoda’s grandfather, William Smith was a groom, when Henry, Rhoda’s father was born in 1851, suggesting that William had contacts with the estate. Rhoda’s mother, Martha was born in a village, Horringer that is close by, so in both instances, family members are likely to have connections with the estate.

When Rhoda died in 1974, her property was left to her unmarried daughter who lived at the house with her. Eventually, when this daughter died, the table was given to one of Rhoda’s sons Reginald. Reginald died in 1999 and his son, Peter has made the table available for sale.

Note: The National Trust website gives details about the owners of the Ickwork Estate. It would appear that around the time that Rhoda acquired the table many improvements were being made to the house and estate. Theodora, 4th Marchioness of Bristol (1875-1957), paid for settling debts and major improvements to Ickworth House. She was greatly concerned with the contents and had furniture and objects d’art restored.

Condition:
Excellent original condition, ready for another 200 years.

No repairs or restoration required, I've just given the top a wax polish.

Heavy, sturdy, not even a hint of a wobble to the legs, no movement or warping to the flaps.

No historic repairs or restoration was carried out, probably due to lack of use.

Some very minor historic blemishes to the surface and a couple of small historic ink marks to the centre section - see photos.

A small slither/splinter missing to the edge of one of the flaps, which I haven't restored as I like the patination that has built up on the surface there - see photo.

Dimensions:

Height: 72cm

Length (flaps out): 156.5cm

Depth: 122cm

With leaves down the length reduces to 48.5cm

Worked well near the equator
Style: SPF 50
I bought this product because I was going to be in the field for a month, outside, every day, all day, in Tanzania at high altitude. A severe sunburn would be hard to treat in the remote area we were in, but also I am very careful about protecting my skin from aging. I had to have mineral based sunscreen because as a whitewater kayaker I know it’s the only truly water resistant kind and it was going to be sweaty. And since I knew I was going to be putting it on every day, and we didn’t have running water in the field (bucket showers only) I didn’t want it to feel gross. (I really wanted to try the spray but I didn’t want to put anything pressurized in my luggage.) And I had already discovered the Coola face sunscreen (30spf version) which had impressed me with how silky smooth and not greasy it is. Now this IS greasier because it is a higher SPF. BUT I think this product is as good as you’re going to get with the protection you’re getting. Like I said, I’m a white water tiger, so I have used a LOT of mineral sunscreens. This was hands down the most comfortable one I’ve used. And it was effective. I didn’t burn once—only time I did burn was when I forgot to put it on one day toward the end of the trip, when we were out for just a couple hours—and I got the first 2nd degree burn I’ve ever had in my life. That was what this stuff had protected me from, all day every day, the entire trip. I did tan a little but I think that was mostly from the few times I was not covered during short bouts or it was cloudy. For my face I used the Coola 50spf face product.

Love this stuff!
Style: SPF 50
I use this every day and I love how it is frangrance free and creamy. I have a very fair complexion and I will say it leaves a slight white cast but it doesn’t bother me because it almost makes my fairness more creamy looking. My skin texture has improved since wearing it daily and no allergies from it. I highly recommend especially if you have fairer skin otherwise it may leave a cast .

Excellent mineral sunscreen with minimal white cast.
Style: SPF 50
This is one of the healthier sunscreens I’ve found so far. You’re not likely going to find a mineral sunscreen that doesn’t leave some white cast. However, this one rubs in pretty good with minimal cast. You can dab on and rub in fairly easily… as long as you don’t use too much the white cast should be minimal. I am not sure how well this would work on darker skin tones. My arms are a medium skin tone… my legs are more of a light-medium tone. I prefer mineral sunscreens, and this is the best one I found so far and compatible to Supergoop mineral play. If you liked that one, you would likely enjoy this Coola one too.

Would not recommend
Style: SPF 50
I literally never write reviews but felt compelled to write one for this sunscreen because I was very caught off guard by all the positive reviews. This sunscreen leaves the most insane white sheen that never soaks in and gets on EVERYTHING. I put this on and drove to the beach and had sunscreen on my car seat, the steering wheel, the center console, the door, EVERYWHERE! It took forever to clean up and was such a hassle and that was after having let the sunscreen soak into my skin for an hour. Also the sunscreen is really thick and difficult to spread and makes you look ghostly white. Plus, the sunscreen has a really odd odor that reminded me of play dough? That might not be a negative thing for everyone but I found it unpleasant. There are definitely better mineral sunscreens out there. For the price I expected a much better product.
