Originating from the early 17th century, around 1630, this antique table flawlessly blends practicality and an aesthetic reminiscent of historical French craftsmanship.

Connected by an intricately carved X-form cross stretcher, the table stands proudly on traditional bun feet, enhancing the antique appeal.
