Square and round nails co-exist on this piece showing a history of repairs, post-peg construction. It will add interest or uniqueness to any room. This table must have a lot of, "stories to tell". Indeed, there are a person's initials ("H W") carved lightly about 1" in size on the top back edge. Its 31" high and the square top is 22" x 22".

Of course, it is pine, and the top has numerous repairs, scratches, stains and discoloration.
The table is a perfect example, however, of how old, antique pine develops a warm honey-toned depth and color. It looks great with an Oriental Rug!

The drawer opens smoothly, the knob is likely not original, the brown knob is vintage, with a wood base and plaster finish. The drawer interior has small finishing nail holes, markings of age difference and ware patterns perhaps indicative that it was once compartmentalized. See less
