Table (Tavolo), late 19th century
Walnut, 79.4 x 226 x 75 cm (31 1/4 x 89 x 29 1/2 in.)
This is a dark walnut trestle table almost eight and a half feet long. The trestle legs are curved and braced-framed to support the top. There are single raised carved medallions and decorative cut outs on the outer sides of the trestle legs. These legs end in rounded feet. The stretcher that connects the legs is a simple piece of wood. There are a few scuffed areas from age.
