It’s probably 30x48” and made of an extremely hard and dense burled old growth wood and i believe someone got ahold of it with some lacquer at some point. The legs are probably not original and obviously the hinges and screws are not. Legs may have been cut down and re used when hinges added. note the holes in the corner of the table where a spindle for the old legs would have been.  They are in all four corners and heavily worn into burled hardwood, which leads be to believe the entire table top is much older. This wood is incredible hard, some of the hardest I’ve seen. The entire table is basically a tree knot and I believe it’s showing hundreds of years of wear. The table had a repair at some point (I’m assuming) and legs were replaced with hinges and screws. There are probably 10+ types of nails in this piece throughout and multiple types being hand wrought.  People on Reddit seem to think it’s fake but i know it’s old, just not sure how old! Tell me what you think! Thanks[/QUOTE]
