A striking late Victorian cast iron trestle table with a long mahogany top, English in the style of 19th-century pub, tavern and railway-hotel furniture. The black cast iron base has two heavily ornamented end supports with scrolling foliate castings, figural mask details, and studded vertical columns. Each rests on a stepped triangular foot. A studded cast iron stretcher joins them and keeps the base rigid.

The long rectangular wood top has a warm patina, a molded edge and an honest aged finish. It is mounted on wooden battens. The scale suits many uses: an entry or hall console, a sofa table, a kitchen island or counter-height work table, a bar, or a narrow dining or desk table.

Condition: Good antique condition with age-appropriate wear. The cast iron is solid and sturdy with a dark painted finish, and the top shows normal surface marks and wear. See less
