Antique Rare Italian Tilt-Top Table Dessert Table Carved and Turned Solid Walnut

An elegant and exceptionally well-constructed 19th-century Italian extending dining table, handcrafted in solid walnut and originating from the historic cabinetmaking tradition of the Bassano area, long celebrated for the quality of its artisanal woodworking. The table is distinguished by its harmonious oval form, warm walnut patina, and beautifully balanced proportions. In its closed configuration, the piece presents a refined circular silhouette, while the integrated extension system transforms it into a generous oval dining table of remarkable versatility. Crafted entirely in solid walnut, with an impressive total weight of approximately 160 kg, the table conveys the material integrity and structural seriousness characteristic of traditional Northern Italian craftsmanship. The richly figured top reveals subtle tonal variations and natural grain movement developed over nearly two centuries. The base is particularly elegant, featuring turned legs connected by shaped cross stretchers, creating a dynamic architectural composition that combines stability with visual lightness. The underside construction and extension mechanism further demonstrate the quality of the original cabinetmaking techniques. The table comes from a historic family villa in Marostica, in the Veneto region, adding an important layer of provenance and authenticity. Since March 2001, it has formed part of the A&MYART Collection, where it has been carefully preserved. Both sculptural and highly functional, this piece is ideally suited for sophisticated interiors seeking authentic Italian character, whether used as a central dining table, entertaining table, or statement piece within a curated design environmen Details Type: Extending Dining Table Period: 19th Century Origin: Bassano area, Italy Provenance: Family villa, Marostica, Italy Collection: A&MYART Collection (since March 2001) Materials: Solid walnut Extension: Central extension system Condition: Good antique condition with wear consistent with age and use Weight: Approx. 160 kg Dimensions Height: 31.5 in (80 cm) Diameter: 51.2 in (130 cm) Extended Length: 67.7 in (172 cm) Collector’s Note Authentic extending walnut dining tables from the Bassano cabinetmaking tradition are increasingly appreciated for their combination of sculptural warmth, practicality, and enduring craftsmanship.
