Item 3202 Renaissance Dining Table Dimensions Width 63, Height 31, Depth 38 (in inches)   (extends to 112 inches) Wood Solid walnut and other hardwoods Country France or Italy Date Circa 1930 Description This Renaissance style dining table is striking both in terms of its size (extending to 112 inches) and its massive, pedestal design.  Made of solid walnut and other hardwoods, the table is classic in design based on architectural elements such as columns and square mouldings.  A large rosette on the outward facing panels of the pedestal evoke the table's roots in Renaissance design.  In keeping with the traditions of earlier centuries, the extensions of the table are unfinished because they would always be covered with an expensive tablecloth.  The extensions pull out from underneath the table and are put in place. For chairs that match this table see 3202.
