19th c. Spanish Farm Table

Some tables hold a room before anything is even set on them, and this 19th-century Spanish farm table is one of them. Found in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon but carried up from just outside Lyon, it's built in the mesa de costado tradition, the carved trestle legs splayed wide and joined by a pair of hand-forged iron stretchers that curve and cross at the center. That iron was a Spanish solution that goes back to the 1600s, keeping a heavy table rigid where wood alone would loosen over the years. Sylvie sets it long down a dining room with chairs pulled close on both sides, a table built to outlast every dinner you'll ever put on it.
