About the Item

At over nine feet long, this sumptuous oak baluster leg table was hand-carved with an H-stretcher in Flanders, circa 1680. Long tables such as these were known as table de communauté and were designed to accommodate as many seats as possible. Religious institutions such as convents and monasteries often had elaborately carved tables spread throughout their dining hall. Notice the highly carved apron, which is adorned with a repeating pattern of foliate scrolls on top of a textured background. Each corner of the apron has a rectangular block attached by round dowels with a turned baluster leg on block feet beneath the joinery. In comparison to the top, the legs are inset toward the center of the table, allowing for more leg room. The top is comprised of two long planks surrounded by three and a half inch wide surrounding beams. The table has an exceptionally rich patina and the old block repairs on the top give added character. Today, a table of this length, style, age and beauty will certainly be a focal point in any interior.

17th Century Spanish Walnut Wood Table with Single Plank Top
Located in Dallas, TX
A beautifully crafted wooden table from Spain, the walnut was hand-carved at the end of the Renaissance (in the 1600’s). As is the case with most Spanish Renaissance tables, the 1 ½” thick single plank top rests upon tightly turned legs. The edges of the top do not have molding or carvings but receive added character from the large dovetail grooves that were used to construct the table. This table has framing beneath the top plank which houses three horizontally aligned drawers. Each drawer façade has an iron escutcheon in the shape of shield with two engrailed top edges. The keyplate is set within a foliate margent that is surrounded by several layers of molding. Identical carvings and iron plates can be seen on the opposite side of the table, which has faux drawer fronts. Beneath the belt are four turned legs connected by an H-stretcher.
