Dining Table (English Oval), Reclaimed Hardwood, Sand Cast Brass Base
The English Oval Dining Table that embodies the grandeur of a bygone era. Crafted from rare Ching Chan rosewood sourced from a centuries-old house near the ancient Thai capital of Ayutthaya. The Ching Chan rosewood is renowned for its stunning appearance, with a waxy texture and a deep reddish-brown hue. Throughout history, this prized wood was exclusively reserved for royal and aristocratic families, and was commonly used in decorative furniture throughout Asia. In fact, many of the Ming and Qing dynasty heirlooms have survived in almost mint condition to this day, a testament to the durability of this fine wood.
Our skilled craftsmen worked tirelessly to transform the wood into a sleek and elegant table, carefully shaping the top into an elliptical form that is both practical and visually captivating. We challenged ourselves to hand beveled the edges and then hand-sanded to perfection. To accentuate the natural beauty of the wood, we applied multiple layers of hard wax oil to the tabletop, giving it a subtle shine that will endure for generations.
The multiple layers of hard wax oil applied to the tabletop serve to accentuate the natural grain and beauty of the wood, bringing out its full potential. The rosewood table top floats effortlessly on top of PT12 sand cast brass base, a three-prong base that echoes traditional Victorian style twin pedestal table.

Reclaimed Hardwood
P. Tendercool is based in Thailand, where a couple of generations ago every house was a wooden one. Thailand was spoiled for choice and many houses were constructed using now rare exotic tropical woods. We made it our mission to score these and turn vintage floors, beams, and pillars into truly unique furniture, created for you, towards your specifications.
We use traditional wood-working techniques and – unless you ask otherwise – refrain from levelling the bottom of a table. Our furniture will more often than not show imperfections we cherish, traces of its past: old wooden pegs, old joinery, some restored holes, all signs of the wood’s previous life.
Table Bases
Our table-bases are sand cast by hand, one by one, by Octogenarian Armando Benato and his team. Armando started working with his uncle when he was fourteen and even worked for artists like Salvador Dalí. Care for a better reference?
