Not every meal was taken at the grand dining table, and for the easy ones of the morning a household kept a smaller, rounder table like this. Found in Le Perche and dating to the 19th century, it is a round table in bare, stripped wood, its top set on four turned legs that taper to the floor. Round was the point, no corners and no head of the table, so everyone who sat down to it in the morning did so as equals, close enough to pass the coffee without reaching. Sylvie sets it by a kitchen window with two chairs, laid for coffee and the slow start of a Sunday.
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 wood has been sanded back to raw, unfinished wood. The top has a slight slope and remains fully functional. The surface has a crack through the center and scratches from years of use.
