A beautiful Continental Neoclassical Revival drop-leaf extending table from the late 19th century. The rectangular top has a gorgeous inlay, both the top and sides with delicate string inlay, and the focal point, fine scrolled foliate and urn marquetry inlaid to the raised panel sides, all rising on a trestle base joined by a central stretcher. This striking antique European extension table, circa 1880s, is as beautiful as it is versatile. Its proportions allow it to be used many ways, including as a console or sofa table, center table, petite desk, dessert or serving table, kitchen breakfast table, or placed in the hall or foyer as a stunning entry table.
