Isn't this a beautiful old table?
Would you believe we picked it up at a yard sale for a song?
This was the condition of the top, but we knew it was solid wood.
We used Howard Feed-N-Wax to restore the finish.
Of course, it took a little sanding too, but not that much, believe it or not.

It turned out to be solid mahogany, made in the 1920s.
The lines are absolutely beautiful!
A perfect example of Art Deco design.
And there was a surprise inside!
It's called a "butterfly wing" leaf.
It expands the table from 4' to 5' and folds away inside when it's not needed.
I just love it when you run across something so special when you least expect it!
