The beautiful top is composed of four 3-centimeter-thick solid walnut planks; the crosspieces and turned legs are also walnut. Two large drawers lined with Varese paper are located along the longest side. This table is extremely sturdy given the quality of the material used and dates back to the second half of the 19th century, originating in Lombardy. It represents the most classic and domestic type of dining or kitchen table, except that rather than being made of softwood such as poplar or fir, a more noble and expensive wood was used.

The height from the floor to the crosspiece for the legs is 61 cm. See less
