France, 18th Century

$2,995

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Jaw Dropper

Found in Carpentras, this 18th-century farm table comes from the Rhône-Alpes, where the long table was the one piece a farmhouse was built around. Meals, paperwork, kneading bread, and the whole family gathering all happened here, which is why it was made long, heavy, and out of the best wood a household could manage. The twisted legs are the maker showing off a little, a bit of style spent on the most important table in the house, with a low stretcher to keep feet up off a cold floor. Sylvie uses it as a dining table or a long desk, the kind of piece a room arranges itself around.

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. The table is unfinished wood that has developed a soft grey patina over time. It is sturdy overall and shows minor cracks and warping from years of use.
