| The appeal of this late 19th century dining table is in the teak wood that has aged to a rich, dark luster. The table is made in a simple, almost stark design favored by the Dutch colonists who lived on the island of Java, Indonesia, where they commissioned furniture to be built to their specifications. The table top is a thick teak slab with character in its surface that only can come from years of use. Such tables were constructed so they could be disassembled and shipped as a flat piece. The original assembly was done with teak pegs pounded into place with a heavy mallet. In place of the teak pegs, we have put for convenience sake, iron bolts that are easier to slip out than the pegs. We have kept the pegs, though, and they still can be used if the original method of assembly is preferred. This handsome old table looks as good in a library as it does in a kitchen or country dining room. It is in very good condition. Dimensions: height 34" (86 cm), width 74 1/4" (189 cm), depth 33 1/2" (85 cm). | |||||||||||
