French Folding Side Table

France, 20th Century

$495

Vintage One-Of-A-Kind Exactly As Pictured

This folded flat against a wall until the grape harvest came. Found in Avignon and made in the 20th century, it carries a shaped, scalloped top on a slender folding base, its top tilting upright so the whole table folds away, all worn to a warm brown. A table like it is a table de vendange, the folding table a vineyard brought out at harvest, set up in the rows or the cellar to feed the pickers and taste the new wine, then tilted up against a wall once the work was done. Sylvie would use it as a small table in an entry or by a window, and fold it flat to tuck away when the room needs its space back.

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 tabletop shows minor staining, water marks, and a split in the wood. The top has some movement due to its folding mechanism, all part of the character we love in an old piece.
