the table has been carefully restored without sanding to raw wood, preserving its authentic patina, surface texture, and visible signs of age, which emphasize its long history and antique character. No structural interference with the original wood has been made – the table retains a beautiful “heritage look” with a true sense of time.

at some point in the past, the table appears to have been raised to its current height (76 cm) to match modern seating standards, while the base structure remains original. The table includes two contemporary-crafted extension leaves (in place of lost originals), professionally fitted for full functionality.
there are scratches and dents on the tabletop.
the countertops are made of furniture board covered with natural oak veneer.
