Wood Dining Tables From The Nineteenth Century

The rod connecting the two leg structures, in the shape of an endless screw, brings a modern interpretation of the screw bench. The beauty of this design and style is enhanced by the use of Perspex or added-clear glass for the table leading, which reveals the structure from various angles.
