History of our table

I had asked the previous owner (Sarah Lazarus) of our table about the history of the table and she called to tell me that her husband and she bought the table from a furniture store in Crows Nest about 15 years ago. The brass plate that says, "Laurence Lee" is the name of the man who made the table, which was made in Taree. The scratches to the left hand side of the brass plate were made by Sarah's son (the previous owner) when he was two years old when he carved into it with a sea shell. She also made me aware of a lovely little detail, which is a carving on the leg to the left hand side of the brass plate, which is just lovely. That was one of her favorite parts of the table and she is not sure where it came from. It was not clear to me if the table was previously owned by someone else before Sarah bought it, but she said that they had many happy family times around it and she was sorry to have to sell it, but they wanted to make room for a bigger table and she was happy to hear that it has gone to a good home.
