The 400-year-old table set to sell for £100K found in two-up two-down home

A small table discovered inside a two-up, two-down home could be worth more than £100,000, according to autioneers. The 400-year-old table dates back to the Ming Dynasty which was between 1368 and 1644.

And while it is simple in design it is expected to stand out when it comes up at auction. For while it has been given an estimated value of £50,000 to £80,000 experts believe it will end up being sold far in excess of that.

It was found by Charles Hanson, owner of Hansons Auctioneers. He told Derbyshire Live: "It’s a really important table. Though it was made centuries ago, its simplicity reflects modern design. It is a work of art."
