French Drapers Console Table

France, 20th Century

$2,995

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Sylvie Favorite

Drapers measured cloth by eye and by the length of the arm, unrolling a bolt across the counter and cutting off whatever a customer asked for, the rest of the shop's color stacked underneath. Found in Lille and dating to the 20th century, it is warm wood on turned legs, a flat top above two open tiers that step down to a base board near the floor. Lille built its fortune on cloth, one of the great textile cities of the north, so a merchant's table like this belongs to exactly the world it came from. Sylvie stands it against a wall as a console, a lamp and the day's post on top and the shelves below stacked with books and folded throws.

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 shows some water marks consistent with years of use.
