A Unique 19th Century Australian Cedar and Blackwood Tilt Top Breakfast or Dining Table – CAB500

I acquired this rare Australian table years ago, 2004, about the time a grilled cheese sandwich in the US, resembling Jesus sold for $28,000.

I thought what the?

I saw an Aboriginal elder inside a piece of Australian cedar!

I had Russell Winnell photograph the table in great detail and featured at a Sydney antique fair. I returned to Melbourne and forgot about until now.
Take a close look and tell me what you think?
