Large Swedish Pine Trestle Table
Sweden
19th century
Pine
88 1⁄2” wide x 37” deep x 30 1⁄2” high
The best examples of Swedish folk furniture are simple, built to last, and ingenious. This trestle table breaks down into five parts: the top, the two trestles, and the pair of stretchers. Four wooden keys stabilize the puzzle once it is assembled. The well-used pine is on the paler side, a warmly neutral stage for your family dinners or piles of books.
