Early 18th Century Italian Fratino Table in Walnut, Umbrian Origin
-
Description
A stately Umbrian fratino table in solid walnut, dating circa 1720. This early 18th century refectory table features a rectangular top with a finely carved dentil edge, a subtle yet elegant detail that enhances its architectural presence.
The table is supported by bold lyre-shaped legs, each ending in a graceful scroll and connected by a sculptural curved stretcher, which adds both stability and visual rhythm to the piece. Rich in patina, the walnut displays warm, honeyed tones and natural grain movement that speak to centuries of history and craftsmanship.
Originally used in monasteries or noble residences, this table embodies the simplicity and solidity of traditional Italian design while offering timeless beauty and functionality. Ideal as a dining table, console, or statement piece in a grand hallway, this rare Umbrian example captures the soul of 18th century Italian furniture with quiet authority.
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! -
