Antique & Rustic Early 1800s Wooden Spanish Countryside Pay Table with Drawer

About the Item

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 was 'banco rotto' and that actually and factually is where the Dutch word 'bankroet' and the English word 'bankruptcy' are derived from. This particular specimen from the early 1800s stands as strong and stabile as the day it was handcrafted, it is all but 'rotto' and the practical drawer with its unique front too is in very good condition. We do believe the inside of the drawer has at some point in time been replaced, because it looks to good (for the trained eye). Besides the wear that you would expect to see on an antique of this age and the multiple old woodworm holes (all inactive ofcourse) this table also has one leg/side that is 'leaning' to the inside a little. Mind you, by the time you are over 200 years old, you too will be leaning to the inside a little. It ofcourse gives this interesting and historical antique extra character and it is absolutely ready to be used and enjoyed. If you appreciate the ancient beauty and if you like the historical significance of this small and interesting antique table then you will love our price.

Measures: Maximum width x height x depth: 18.8 x 17.3 x 17.3 inches. Width x depth x height of the inside of the drawer: 10.2 x 11.6 x 4 inches.
