Just as popular as a console table as a folding table, these pieces are typical Gustavian antiques of a special kind. The age (1780), the color, and the condition are particularly noteworthy. The old hinges and nails are clearly visible and promise rarity. Four narrow, tapered legs with subtle fluting will catch the eye of the connoisseur. Two flaps for expansion with rounded edges are quite unique. When unfolded, the dimensions are 163 cm x 104 cm. When folded (console dimensions) are 39 cm x 104 cm. The height is 74 cm. The color is light (light blond). This piece of furniture is magnificent! See less
