It dates to the mid 1850s The table is totally original and the only one of this size I found which is fantastic, these are usually centre or occasional table size which can also be used as a dining table, given the wear I think that's exactly what this has been used for We have cleaned waxed and polished it from top to bottom, there are lots of marks, small losses and patina marks all over especially around the legs, fully restored to gallery condition.
