Description from the seller

Solid Carved Wood “Fratino” Table / Writing Desk – Renaissance Style / 19th–20th Century

General Description:
Elegant center table / writing desk with shaped plank top, made of solid wood. The piece features the typical fratino-style structure, with a sturdy central stretcher enhanced by carved rosette motifs. The finely carved side supports feature rich scrollwork, fluting motifs, and intricately carved animal feet (lion’s paws).

Features and Details:

Drawers: Fitted with two large front drawers with wooden knobs and lock fittings.

Keys: Original, working key included (marked CAS) (opens one drawer).

Structure: Sturdy construction with great character and traditional joinery.

Condition:
The piece is in fair overall condition, with the usual signs of age and wear consistent with its age. Please note a natural shrinkage crack in the wood on one of the side supports, as shown in the detail photos; this does not affect its structural stability. We recommend carefully viewing the photo gallery to assess its condition.
