Description
Primitive hardwood farmhouse table with a rectangular top constructed from multiple wide solid planks. The base features a sturdy frame with four thick square-hewn legs. The legs are joined by a low-set H-stretcher providing additional stability. The entire piece displays a dark heavily aged patina with evidence of hand-tooling and an uneven character-filled surface texture. Construction details include visible mortise and tenon joints with wooden pegs. 32" H x 75" W x 30 1/2" D.
From the Woodstock, New York estate of music manager Albert Grossman, best known for managing artists including Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, The Band, and Peter, Paul and Mary.
Condition report:

Several joints show gaps and the feet are heavily worn with missing wood.
