18th Century Italian Fratino Table

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
A distinguished example of 18th-century Italian craftsmanship, this Fratino table features a richly patinated solid walnut construction with intricate carved details. The design showcases a long rectangular top supported by boldly sculpted trestle legs and connected by an elaborate stretcher with scrolling Baroque motifs. The silhouette is striking and architectural, characteristic of ecclesiastical or monastic furniture from central Italy, where these tables were traditionally used in convents or refectories.

The walnut has aged beautifully, acquiring a warm tone and deep texture that reflects centuries of use. Despite its historical significance, the table remains highly functional and versatile—ideal for use as a dining table, console, or desk in both classic and contemporary interiors. The harmonious balance between form and function, combined with the exquisite details of the carved stretcher and legs, makes this piece a rare and timeless statement.
