About the Item

A beautiful desk, library table or console table possibly having been used as a writing desk. Great sculptural presence, works wonderfully in a contemporary or classic interior. We are particularly fond of this design in its almost Asian simplicity. Incredible patina and colour. Tables of this kind are often referred to as Fratino. A fratino table is a traditional dining table which originated in the Middle Ages and was often found in monasteries. It is characterized by its elongated form and simple design, typically made of wood, walnut, and metal. Over time, they have evolved into modern versions that maintain their classic style while incorporating contemporary materials and designs.
