Description

Raw Material

Renowned for being hard-wearing and one of the hardest pines, pitch pine has dark and resinous lines and is warm with a prominent grain.

Look and Feel

Each table has been sanded back from the original varnished patina and naturally weathered before being oiled and waxed to create a rough sawn appearance that matches our smaller Industrial Rounds.

Measurements

Our widest round table, these beauties measure 183cm in diameter, or 6ft.

The History

This timber was retrieved during a recent renovation of The Empire Hotel in Bath. A designated Grade II listed building built in 1901, it was designed by the Bath City Architect Major Charles Edward Davis for the hotelier Alfred Holland and built from Bath Stone; the timber panelling had been aged there for over 100 years.
