19th c. Farm Table

France, 19th Century

$3,995

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Wood

Some tables are made to be passed down, and this 19th-century oak farm table from Villeneuve-lès-Avignon is one of them. The top is a thick single run of plank, and the four turned baluster legs are joined low by an H-stretcher. That stretcher near the floor was the working detail; it tied the legs together against decades of being leaned on and pushed around, and it gave whoever sat down somewhere to rest their feet on a cold stone floor. Sylvie sets it in a kitchen or dining room with a long bench down one side and chairs along the other, laid for a lunch that runs well into the afternoon.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

Dear collector, as with many antiques, this piece may show signs of its age, including subtle repairs, a bit of movement, cracks, scratches, small holes, and surface variation from years of use. There are a few minor water marks across the surface, while the piece itself remains sturdy overall. Visible cracks along the legs reflect its age and long life.

All items are final sale.
