About the Item

A 19th century Italian portefeuille dining table made of solid walnut. This space-saving, extendable table is characterized by an clever flip-top or fold-over mechanism. The name portefeuille, French for wallet or portfolio, refers to how the tabletop unfolds like a wallet to double its surface area. The top is made of two hinged planks that rotate and slide to one side and then unfolds. When closed, it can function as a console, writing desk, or small breakfast table and when fully extended, it can accommodate 8 to 10 guests. The base has a large drawer with an iron ring pull and is perfect for storing silverware and table linens. Sturdy curved legs ending in carved hoof feet. Good craftsmanship using pegged construction. Some restoration on top planks and legs. Circa 1840-1860 Dimensions: 53"W x 30"D x 30.75"H (closed) Clearance: 24" 53"D x 60.5"W x 29.5"H (open) Clearance: 28.75"
