Its massive solid wood top showcases a rich, deep grain, supported by architectural trestle ends featuring distinctive scalloped and scrolled edges. The design is unified by a pair of hand-forged iron lyre stretchers, a hallmark of historic Mediterranean furniture that provides both exceptional structural stability and a touch of artisanal elegance. This table possesses a soulful, commanding presence that bridges the gap between historical weight and contemporary rustic sophistication.


Perfectly scaled for large gatherings, this table measures 96" long, 42" deep, and 30" tall, comfortably seating 8 to 10 guests. It remains in good antique condition, with a surface that tells a storied history through various scuffs, gouges, and deep character marks—particularly notable on the top surface—which serve as an authentic patina celebrating its centuries of use. These unique variations underscore the table’s remarkable provenance and artisanal appeal. Invite this venerable centerpiece into your home to ground your dining space with timeless architectural interest and historic charm. See less
