Near Neighbors Century Old Table

[Penpal]

It was loaded with things so I lay on the floor in the corner to give an Idea of the carved legs. The table expands to accomodate a big family.

I understand it is French The owner was away and I did not want to be shifting it sand or losing a leg. It was bought in Sydney at an Antique Dealer there.

Got to be a Dutch piece that Peter

 

[Pierre]

I agree with Vic all the motifs are of Dutch origin, The French clogs are a different shape and their clothing is not French.

I agree and think it is Dutch. The clothing, clogs and ship's wheel are all strong indications.
