Oak Coffee Table

France, 20th Century

$2,795

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Wood

Before it was cut down to sit in front of a sofa, this was a farm table, standing at working height in a French kitchen where the meals were made and eaten. Found in Avignon, it dates to the 20th century, a wide plank top over a single drawer, standing on four square legs since shortened to coffee table height, the oak stripped back to a pale wheat. Farm tables like it were the center of the household, built long and sturdy to seat everyone and take the daily work of a kitchen. Sylvie sets it in front of the sofa with a stack of art books and a vase of cosmos, the old drawer still there for whatever needs putting away.

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 top has been sanded to a raw wood finish, while traces of the original finish remain on the legs.

All items are final sale.
