Antique Occasional Table

France, 20th Century

$1,595

Every Provençal house keeps a table for the in-between hours: the shelled beans, the half-read letter, the coffee gone cold. Found in Avignon, this round occasional table stands on four bobbin-turned legs joined by a crossed stretcher, with a scalloped apron and a softly molded top that has settled into a warm, even patina. The stacked bead turning on its legs traces back to the Louis XIII period of the early seventeenth century, a style French workshops kept returning to throughout the 1800s. At Sylvie, it sits beside a reading chair with a glass jug of garden carnations and whatever book refuses to stay on the shelf.

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 dark wood finish shows minor scuffs and scratches, with one filled hole on the top. The legs, lower supports, and feet show light wear. Overall, the piece is in very good condition.
