Vintage One-Of-A-Kind Kitchen Must Have

Long before it held flowers and fruit, this top was a carpenter's workbench, cut and clamped and worked on day after day. Found in Montpellier and dating to the 20th century, it stands long on square pegged legs, a thick plank top over a slatted shelf built to hold the heavy things below. A workbench was built at exactly the height you stand to work, which is why it lands so naturally as a kitchen island, made from the start to be used on your feet. Sylvie sets it in the middle of a kitchen, the shelf below for baskets, boards, and copper, the long top for the day's work.

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.
