Circa mid-1800's. Antique English tilt-top breakfast table with a fascinating history. This table graced Joan Crawford's Brentwood home, overlooking the garden from one end of her dining room. It subsequently was owned by Donald O'Connor, the late actor renowned for his starring role in "Singing in the Rain," when he purchased Joan Crawford's home circa 1960. I acquired the table from Donald O'Connor's estate in 2006, in Oak Creek, AZ. I have not used the table for any purpose since acquiring it.

I found two photos which display the table on the Legendary Joan Crawford website. Here is a link to the website with the photos: http://www.legendaryjoancrawford.com/brentwoodhome.html. Underneath the large photo with Joan Crawford, there are two columns of photos of her home. You will find the table in the 14th photo from the top in the left column as well as the 9th photo from the top in the right column. To make it a little easier, here are the direct links to the photos:
