Original Blue and Red Painted Drop Leaf Table, Sweden circa 1840-60

About the Item

There is wonderful aged charisma to this drop leaf gate leg table that can serve as a side table, demi-lune console or even kitchen table. To find an original painted table such as this one is a special find. Note the blue and red paint (with specs/touches of white) have faded and been worn down through generations of use to the natural pine below. When opened, the table top reveals white stencil flourishes along the edge. Fading (the red paint now has a soft salmon look to it), stains, distress and wear are all visible reflecting age and use. When closed, the table is only 24.5” deep yet it expands to 45.75" deep when fully opened. The table has been restored, it is sturdy and ready to use and enjoy. Please examine the close up photos to appreciate the aged patina of the wood; old scratches, nicks, stains and marks mix with the wood grain adding depth of character. All scratches, cracks, dings, and age related separation are reflective of age and do not detract from the beauty nor function of this versatile table. Please refer to professional photos for clear understanding of color, condition, and details; photo lighting, individual monitor display and home lighting all impact how item is viewed. Photos are part of item description, please ask questions or request additional photos of specific areas if needed.
