French Provincial Style Scalloped Tray-Top Coffee Table

This is a vintage French Provincial style coffee table, characterized by an oval, scalloped wooden frame and a removable glass tray top. The piece is constructed primarily of wood, likely walnut or fruitwood, featuring a warm medium-brown finish. The top surface consists of a clear glass pane with a subtle etched or frosted central floral/starburst motif, set within a shaped wooden tray frame equipped with two metal bale handles for lifting. The table's apron is ornately decorated with cross-hatch basketweave carving and scalloped edges. It is supported by four cabriole legs with decorative acanthus leaf carvings at the knees, joined by a scrolling X-stretcher with a central turned finial. In terms of condition, there is visible wear consistent with age, including surface scratches on the wood, minor scuffing on the feet, and general patina on the finish. The glass appears intact but may have light surface scratches. This style typically dates from the mid-20th century (circa 1940-1960). The craftsmanship shows good attention to detail in the ornate carvings and structural stability Provided by the stretcher system.
