Description
In the tradition of tables supported by trestles, Spanish carpentry created, from the 16th century, a significant type of table.
They consist of a solid top, assembled, on the reverse, to two transverse crosspieces by a long dovetail. On these are fixed the feet. Flared in shape, they imitate the still primitive trestles. This top, of very beautiful dimensions, is made of a single piece.
The iron rods decorated with a ring and curved in volutes, do not intersect. Fixed on the crosspieces by nuts and wing bolts, they trace two elongated, symmetrical, sinuous lines, which are attached in small eyelets on the reverse of the top.
By its length, its thickness, and its patina, the top takes on an exceptional character.
This model of majestic simplicity, almost modern in its pure lines, comes to us in a very good state of conservation.
