A 17thC English Graffitied Oak Refectory Table; Southwick Hall, Northamptonshire c.1680 sub-Fairground-Sideshow & Circus The oak and stained beech

The oak and stained beech is in good order throughout with only minor scuffs and an outstanding patina and colour especially to the front turnings and arms

It was supplemented by the solidification of Christianity when new cathedrals and churches were being built

and they shield people from intense heat from the fire

though could be restored and be used as intended if so desired

The mouth mechanism works as does the top lip and although the eyes move there doesn't seem to be a mechanism for them
