This primitive table has a lot of wear. Old scuff marks, scratches, and some paint in a small area. Looks great from three sides. All of these details just add to its charm!!

This is quite simply one of the most interesting pieces I have ever had in. 

This came a private collection. A talking point in any home! It is made entirely of wood and as you can imagine is very heavy. The patina to the wood is superb and gives this table plenty of character to add to its interesting history.

It is actually a very attractive and practical display table and
makes a great conversation piece with its somewhat macabre history. A pullout drawer on each side with amazing trim and leaf detail. Can be used for many different things, including a console table or a desk. Definitely a conversation piece!! less
