How old is this Scandinavian table? I know it was imported from Sweden in the 1960s.

I inherited some lovely antiques when I bought my house. But this table is a mystery. It was imported from Sweden to the eastern US in the 1960s. But I know nothing else. It’s huge. (82” by 38”) And incredibly heavy. It is made with no metal. And what appears to be hand hewn bolts. No screws or metal nails. It’s obviously been treated rough & has a repair on the bottom rail.
I’d love to know more and if I should do anything beyond treat the wood with furniture oil. The woman who sold it to me was told it was 17th century but I have nothing but her word. I absolutely adore it.
