Boylston Antiques is Proud to Offer for Sale An Early 20th Century Maple Butcher Block on Four Turned Legs. This butcher block is made of solid maple with 4 turned legs. It has evidently seen much use, as the surface is well worn. The distressed patina is very appropriate for a vintage butcher block such as this. The short end of the table displays 3 wooden dowels, which run through the table to hold it together. The numbers “25107” are stamped on the doweled end. There are no other identifying marks evident. • Height from floor with legs is 31 ½”. • Block length is 30 ½”. • Block width is 20 ¾”. • Block depth is 13 ½”. • Leg height is 18”. • Weight is approximately 240 lbs. This would make a great coffee table, occasional table or objet d’art. The legs were detached for moving. They will need to be pounded back into the block; we haven’t done that as we expect they will need to be detached again for shipping. This butcher block may be picked up in Boylston, MA. Pick-up will require at least 2 very strong people. We can arrange for freight shipping if required. If shipping is needed, please email for a quote to your destination. All items are sold "as is". This is an antique piece of furniture; small nicks and scratches are part of the beauty of an antique and are not described unless significant. Please ask any questions prior to offering to purchase.   « Less
