Sold by Tom Scott Antiques

Description

Fabulous country house condition (well used!) Chinoiserie collapsible tray table in its original paint and chinoiserie, albeit well used but still looks great, circa 1900.

Such a useful table, light so you can carry it from room to room or out to the garden and by pressing the levers either side, the legs fold down and click into place to give you a secure and stable table…it is easy to fold the legs down whilst the tray is holding your jug of Pimms and nibbles!

As you can see, the finish has aged with lots of use so the original paint and some gilt have worn, but the table itself is stable and the paint will not deteriorate any further than this as it has been sealed with beeswax.

The price shown does include delivery to mainland UK addresses
