Bordeaux Wine Rack Workbench

France, 20th Century

$1,795

Vintage One-Of-A-Kind Rare

Ooh la la! This early 20th-century wine rack table was found in Avignon but began its life in a winery in Bordeaux. Bottles were stored on their sides in the carved cradles beneath the thick plank top, kept cool and dark so the corks would stay swollen and the wine undisturbed. The surface is worn from hands reaching in, bottles lifted, then slid back into place at the end of the night. Sylvie keeps it now as a small console, usually with a few bottles tucked into the rack again, which feels like returning it to its old routine.

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 piece has been sanded back to raw, unfinished wood, with some staining and surface imperfections throughout. The metal hardware shows some rust patina, and the clamp functions properly. All the little signs of a well-loved antique, just the way we like it.

All items are final sale.
