Members Trish129 Posted May 3, 2018 Members Report Posted May 3, 2018 I recently bought a leather top side table at an auction and I'm in the process of restoring it. I'm curious to know what the design is called. The crossbars below have a broken section and I have no idea where I can find a replacement or if it's even possible. And after saying all of this I can't upload the photo. Ugh I'll see if I can find out how ..... Quote
Members Sheilajeanne Posted May 3, 2018 Members Report Posted May 3, 2018 Trish, I believe you have to have a certain number of posts before you can post photos. You could post the photo elsewhere, and give us a link here, though. Quote

Members Trish129 Posted May 3, 2018 Author Members Report Posted May 3, 2018 I posted it on Craigslist.... don't know where else I can get a link. Lol! https://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/fuo/d/leather-side-table/6578766269.html Quote
Contributing Member LatigoAmigo Posted May 3, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted May 3, 2018 Interesting looking table. Links don't always work over time, so I'll post the photos for you. Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted May 3, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) Legs are known as 'Barley Twist' - popular in mid to late three-quarters of 19th century Europe although the style goes back to the mid 17th century or so. It looks like a Spanish made, or American-Spanish item for the Spanish in the South West of USA. The scroll work is reminiscent of the Spanish Moors school of art. I'd date this to about 1890 - 1910, Spanish American Any good wood worker will be able to turn you up a replacement spreader bar. You have to decide if you want the colour and finish is to be an exact match or slightly off so its only noticeable on close inspection Edited May 3, 2018 by fredk Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members Trish129 Posted May 3, 2018 Author Members Report Posted May 3, 2018 Thank you! You're all so wonderful to help me! I finally removed all of the crud and am looking at conditioners. I'll start looking for a wood worker too. I'd rather it be fixed correctly. Again, thank you! Quote
