About the Item

An Italian small sized table, or writing desk, from the 19th century. This antique table from Italy features a rectangular-shaped top overhanging an apron fitted with a single drawer at one long side. The table is raised on a pair of hour-glass shaped legs flanking either side, with beautifully carved outer edges. A wooden stretcher bar adds support between the legs and is carved with a small arch at center and pierced cut-out embellishment. The medium tone wood has an old patina throughout, a lovely reflection of it's age. The leg clearance at the underside of this piece is 25.25 inches in height. This 19th century table with shapely hourglass legs would make a delightful little writing desk, but versatile enough to be used in just about any room in your home.
