Beautifully time-worn, antique, Southern European, chestnut wood end or side table. This relatively small size antique table is a joy to look at and the history of this kind of table makes it very interesting as well. Pay tables or paying tables were initially used by tax collectors and later in time (in the latter part of the middle ages), when most cities started to have their own currency, came the need for 'money exchangers'. A lot of the first money exchangers in 'early Netherlands' came from the Italian region of Lombardy and their name for these paying tables was 'banco'. Yes, it is this where also the English word 'bank' originates from. Pretty soon these money exchangers, who mainly serviced businessmen and travelers, also started 'safekeeping' and lending money. These tables therefor are at the very root of banking and just like some banks in this day and age, some of these earliest 'bankers' did not keep enough cash in their tables to be able to pay out when clients needed their money. This sometimes would lead to a lynching whereby the table of that particular money lender would be broken into pieces. The Italian word for such a broken table...

Amazing workmanship sidetable, also for unforgettable games of poker, bridge etc. If you are looking for a beautiful sidetable to grace your living space then this all handcrafted specimen from the earliest years of the 20th century could be flying your way soon. This remarkable table with its amazingly hand-carved details and superb claw feet is extra rare, because it is made in the Chippendale Style. And the craftsmanship that was put into creating this antique would make Thomas Chippendale himself proud. You will hardly ever find a Chippendale Style table (or any other antique table for that matter) with such stunningly hand-carved details and for them to be as good as new after one hundred years shows that former owners too understood the importance of and the respect that one should have for this quality made piece. Apart from some minor imperfections to the table top the entire exterior AND interior of this table could not be in better condition. Even the original, inlaid, green felt 'playing field' of this table is as close to perfect as possible. This rare antique is both elegant and stately at the same time and for it not to have a maker's name on it, is strange to say the least. Because of the design, the quality of the make and the beauty of the materials, we believe this piece can only have been made by one of the European top makers from that era. By first pulling the rear legs out and then folding the top, this Chippendale table can be turned into a beautiful games table with a fine felt surface. Have you also noticed the practical and mint condition, solid tiger oak compartment that appears when you pull out the hind legs? That is where you can keep your cards and chips and maybe some board games. When closed, this also is the perfect sidetable for displaying an antique clock...
