This antique table from Italy features a long, rectangular-shaped two board top (approximately 9.2 feet in length) which is supported by a pair of trestle style, shapely-carved wood legs, and raised on rail feet. The outward facing side of each trestle leg has a large circular medallion with flower head carved into its center. The legs are braced along the underside of the table with a beautifully-carved stretcher. There is a hand-etched writing across the stretcher which we believe to read "SORA FAV TINA SIR II FF" though it is faint and not easily visible to decipher. The dark wood has a wonderful old patina, there are some cracks and minor losses, consistent with a centuries old piece, and showing of its long use and history. The leg clearance at underside of table (between skirt and floor) measures 30.75 inches, with an approximate clearance of 30.25 inches at center. This 18th century Italian trestle table will be a statement piece in any dining room, and would look simply fantastic paired with one of our beautiful chandeliers hanging over top! See less
