Early 20th Century Italian Green Painted Drop-leaf Dining Table

Charming Early 20th-Century Painted Italian Drop-Leaf Table, Circa 1920

A delightful Tuscan painted drop-leaf table, dating from the early 20th century and retaining its original decorative finish. The hand-painted top is adorned with scrolling foliate and floral motifs in warm green, pink and yellow tones, creating a soft, romantic palette with wonderful character.
The shaped end leaves fold down to form a neat, compact console, and open to provide a generous oval surface ideal for dining or display. The paint surface shows attractive craquelure and an honest age patina throughout.
A single frieze drawer to each side, each with a simple wooden knob, offers useful storage, while the understated trestle-style base ensures sturdy support without detracting from the decorative top.
Originating from Tuscany, Italy, this versatile piece works beautifully as a small dining table, center table, or as a charming accent in a kitchen or breakfast room. Dimensions: 78.5cm H x 160cm W x 101cm D, 54cm D with dropped leaves.
