18th-Century Italian Fratino Table

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
This Italian fratino table dates to the 18th century and exemplifies the restrained elegance and sculptural strength characteristic of traditional Italian furniture. Crafted in solid wood, the rectangular top displays a rich, warm patina with visible grain and wear consistent with age and long use. The table is supported by four straight legs connected by a central trestle structure, featuring gracefully curved supports that terminate in carved scroll feet. These arched elements not only provide stability but also lend the piece its distinctive architectural presence. Originally designed for use in refectories or domestic interiors, the fratino form is prized for its versatility and honest construction. Its balanced proportions make it well suited as a console, library table, writing surface, or dining table for a smaller space. The surface shows natural imperfections and marks of time, adding authenticity rather than distraction. A timeless and functional example of 18th-century Italian craftsmanship.

This is an antique and having been around for a long time, it will show signs of wear. Antique pieces have very much sought-after character and associated flaws. Please review photos for condition & contact us with questions!
