Belgium, 19th Century

$4,995

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Wood

Below the grand rooms of a castle ran a kitchen that never stopped, and at the middle of it stood a long oak table like this. Found in Belgium and dating to the 19th century, it stretches out on turned legs braced by an H-stretcher near the floor, a thick oak top marked by long use over a single drawer. It came from a grand castle's kitchen, where a table this size fed the staff who kept the house running and carried the work of every meal. Sylvie sets it as a dining table with benches or ladder-back chairs, long enough to seat everyone with room to spare.

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 a darker stain with some scuffs and small cosmetic splits along the tabletop. Traditional breadboard ends help stabilize the tabletop as the wood naturally moves over time. The drawer opens comfortably, though the wooden handle has a partial crack. The table is sturdy and well preserved.
