A Spanish carved chestnut trestle table 17th century

with a rectangular top on splayed scrolled trestle supports joined by scrolled iron stretchers

Old marks, chips and scratches. Old losses and gouges to top and minor areas of infill as visible from photograph, which would benefit from some restoration, which has not been well executed in the past. There are cracks in the trestle supports commensurate with age. The batons beneath the top are possibly later additions. Impressive size. In otherwise good condition.
