French Side Table

France, 19th Century

$595

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Exactly As Pictured

Pegged together by hand and built never to wobble. Found in Béziers and dating to the 19th century, it sets a thick plank top over a single drawer, carved with an X of chip-cut lines and hung with an iron pull, on chunky splayed legs joined by a shaped stretcher. Country tables near the south were put together exactly like this, pegged and mortised without a nail, the one drawer chip-carved with the simple geometry a village hand could cut with a chisel. Sylvie would set it beside a chair or a bed, a lamp and a book on top and the drawer for small things, somewhere its weight and its carving can be seen up close.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

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.
