18th c. French Coffee Table

France, 18th Century

$1,795

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Very Old

With a drawer at each end, whoever sits down has one within reach, a small kindness built into this old oval table. Found in Belgium and dating to the 18th century, it stands low and oval on turned baluster legs joined by a box stretcher, a drawer with an iron ring pull set into each end. In the 1700s it stood at full height as a side or tavern table; brought down low, it makes a rare oval coffee table with the age and the turning of a much grander piece. Sylvie sets it in front of a sofa, a drawer at each end for candles and cards and the oval top for books and flowers.

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 semi-matte wood finish shows some paint splatters and scuffs, with slight cosmetic splitting along the tabletop. The drawer opens comfortably, and the hardware has a little rust patina. The piece is sturdy and in good condition overall.
