19th c. Spanish Console Table

Spain, 19th Century

$3,595

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Rare

Country furniture rarely bothered to be sweet, and this one did. Found in Béziers but made in Catalonia, this 19th-century console runs long and narrow on three shaped trestle supports, each cut through with a single heart and joined by low stretchers. Its top has worn down to a dark, scrubbed surface. The pierced heart is old country work, the small flourish a village maker added by hand, and in Catalan farmhouses a narrow table like this stood against the wall of an entry or the main room. Sylvie would set it against a wall as a console, in an entry or behind a sofa, with a lamp, a few books, and freshly foraged 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 darker stained wood shows some chipping along the tabletop and legs, and the top has a slight bow. All part of the wonderfully imperfect character we love in an old piece.
