    Antique French Inlaid Tilting Table. Looks like Saint George slaying a Dragon. I found this table at a flea market and just love all the inlaid wood detail. I wish someone could tell me how old and any other information they might have. The condition is poor, would this be normal for a table of this kind and age ? Any help or information will be appreciated.
    I added a picture of the back. It has straight head metal screws. Wood looks old.

      It's a very nice table with awesome inlay! The links below show a similar table on display at the 1876 Philadelphia Exhibition.

      I know nothing about it (or much ask anyone) sorry.
      However what a great find even with the damage (that could be repaired for only a ton of cash) They sure don't make them like that these days except for a very few non-production true craftsmen.

      The underside and attachment pieces will help in determining the age. Add some detailed photos and I may be able to help out.

      Thanks Scott. I added a picture of the underside. It has straight head metal screws.
