The triple towered castle is from the Gibraltar coat of arms which was first granted by a Royal Warrant passed in Toledo on 10 July 1502 by Isabella I of Castile during Gibraltar's Spanish period. Both leaves have carved figures which are possibly links to the Genoa as Gibraltar had a large population of Genoese.

FAQs

Gibraltarian carved tables are traditional wooden pieces characterised by intricate relief carvings, often featuring local coats of arms or floral motifs, combined with functional drop-leaf mechanisms.

These tables are typically constructed from dense hardwoods such as oak or mahogany, utilising traditional joinery like mortise and tenon, alongside hand-turned bobbin or spindle legs.

Authenticity is assessed by examining tool marks, hand-carved detailing, patina of the wood, traditional joint construction, and signs of age-appropriate wear and oxidisation.

It can be integrated into contemporary spaces as a focal point or accent piece, pairing well with minimalist surroundings to highlight its rich texture and historical craftsmanship.

Preservation involves keeping the wood away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a soft cloth, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the finish.
