Its double semicircular top unfolds or folds as needed, offering great versatility in a living room, entryway, or workspace. A functional and decorative piece, perfect for a vintage, wabi-sabi, or country chic interior.

materials: solid chestnut frame and top. The piece demonstrates meticulous craftsmanship, with a simple finish that highlights the wood grain.

features: this table features a gate-leg drop-leaf system: two round half-tops fold down on either side, transforming it from a compact table to a generous oval surface. The base consists of straight legs connected by crossbars, typical of post-war design. This low version is particularly sought after as it is much less common than the dining versions.

restoration: the table was completely sanded and then protected with a clear matte varnish, highlighting the beautiful wood grain and patina.
