France, 19th Century

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Jaw Dropper

They didn't build a table like this to last a lifetime, they built it to last several. Found in Amiens and dating to the 19th century, it is low and immensely heavy, a thick old plank top on square legs braced low, its two deep drawers hung with hand-forged iron star pulls. Everything about it is overbuilt, the timber thick enough to stand on and the iron all forged by hand, the kind of table made once and never needing making again. Sylvie sets it in front of a deep sofa with a stack of art books and a bowl of lemons on top, low and solid enough to put your feet up on without a second thought.

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 surface has cracks, scratches, and water marks from years of use. There is also natural variation in the finish and color.
