Pair of Continental Walnut Demi-lune Tables

18th century, each with shaped scroll-cut legs joined by stretchers, designed for use as a pair of console tables or to be joined together to form an oval table.
h. 32", w. 56", d. 19-1/2"

The legs and stretchers are tight, and the tables are sturdy and solid. Normal mars, blemishes, abrasions, shrinkage and wear consistent with age and use. Most of the surface blemishes, notably on the tops, are beneath the current finish, creating a handsome patina. Some scattered minor insect damage. It does not appear to be great enough to affect structural integrity. The two halves may be joined to create a circular center table. It retains iron hooks and eye bolts to secure the halves. It once also had tenons to facilitate that, now missing.
