An Unusual 19th Century English Pine Painted Tavern Trestle Table. This unique piece of furniture has an excellent patinated surface throughout. It is banded in iron which is screwed on to the sides. The use of metal edging like this suggests that the piece may well have been intended for heavy duty use. The base of the piece has been painted and retains its original surface which has aged beautifully. The trestle supports for the table are X-shaped with a central stretcher of simple form. The table has a wonderful contemporary look despite being of 19th century date, very sturdily made and was clearly designed to withstand serious use.
