We will be auctioning 2 tables but this listing is for ONE only. This large, measuring about 42" across by 31" tall, vintage tile topped table is possibly either Lamosa or San Jose tiles on a wrought iron base. We purchased both of these at an estate sale in South Texas several years ago and have stored them in our warehouse ever since. They were used outdoors on the covered patio and do have rusty wrought iron to prove it! These unique tiles are all about Texas and the six flags that have flown over it in history. The tiles picture the different country's flags/shields and read The Kingdom of Spain, The Kingdom of France, The Republic of Mexico, The Confederate States of America, The United States of America, The State of Texas all set against a background of a very large star. In the center of the table is a Lone Star with a wreath. E Plurirus Unum-note the misspelling-is on the United States tile. It does have some damage to one side but we have nearly all the parts that have come off. We have pictured the damaged edge/side with the tiles and without. T is also a wrought iron band that goes around the outer edge of the table that is coming loose and/or part missing. We also note a few hairlines, cracks and nicks and t The rust is very evident but I think a good sandblasting and repainting would take care of that. The tabletop itself is dirty and has some slight green spray paint and a little bit of adhesive, all easily removed. Apparently they did some crafts work or something on it. We will let the high bidder take care of that. We have taken many pictures of the top, side, damage, legs, and underneath and if you feel that you need to see more, just let us know. Once this is restored it will be fabulous! What a great piece for a Ranch or Texana, History buff, or vintage tile collector. They both are awesome examples of vintage tile art! This item is pick up only and we are not responsible once it has left our warehouse. But we will cooperate fully with whoever the buyer chooses to pick this up. Thanks for looking and check out our other great table! We now realize we don't have the pictures of the damaged tiles with 2 missing corners on the listing. Since we can't add any more pictures we will gladly email them if you send us your email address. We will try to explain otherwise: The STATES tile in THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is split diagonally and is rough on the broken edges, KINGDOM in KINGDOM OF SPAIN has ding in tile-see pic, tile between SPAIN and FRANCE has top right corner missing, KINGDOM OF FRANCE-the KING tile is in 2 pieces with bottom right corner missing and GDO of piece is t but rough. In all the confusion of picture taking and listing we inadvertently realized that the pics of the 2 missing corners weren't t No doubt t are folks out t who can repair/restore these corners. Nonetheless, we apologize for this error and if anybody feels they need to retract their bid because of these 2 missing corners, we understand. We also want to remind everyone, as stated in our description, that these tables were used outdoors for years so t is wear and tear from the elements. On the other hand, we appreciate all the interest these 2 tables have generated. T have been many encouraging and enthusiastic emails and apparently lots of excitement is building up for the end of these auctions. Thank you and happy bidding! Lynne @ Memoriesrgv read more
