Monumental French Dining Table

France, 20th Century

$5,995

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Sylvie Favorite

Long enough for a feast, with a heart cut into each end. From Uzès and made in the early 20th century, it runs long and heavy on two clover-shaped trestle supports, each pierced with a single heart and joined by a thick stretcher wedged through with tenons, under a plank top worn to a warm brown. The trestle is the oldest table there is, two end supports and a stretcher that could be knocked apart and carried, and a maker in the south finished these with a clover and a heart, the kind of folk flourish that turned a working table into one a family kept. Sylvie would give it a dining room and line both sides with chairs, a table built for long lunches and a lot of people.

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 dark wood finish shows some light staining, scratches, and small splits, while the underside is unfinished wood. Wooden locking mechanisms secure the structural beam, with a sweet heart detail on either side. The table is very sturdy, with just the kind of imperfections we love in an old piece.

All items are final sale.
