This antique table from Italy features a rectangular-shaped top which is raised upon a pair of sinuously carved lyre inspired trestle-style legs. The legs are braced beneath the table top with a pair of straight wood stretchers running horizontally along the floor. There is a second pair of straight wood stretchers that cross beneath the table top, filling the space and adding visual interest with a vertical x-shape design. This walnut wood table has a deep, rich brown with lovely patina and age, reflective of its history. There are some old repairs to the wood, most notably a wood patch at the top (refer to additional photos for more information on this) which we find to add further character to this piece. There is a 29.5 inch clearance height between the floor and the underside of the top. This 18th century Italian lyre-leg table is a nice medium size at just shy of 5 feet in length, making for versatility within your home or office, perhaps being useful as an entry table or a desk. less
