French Side Table

France, 20th Century

$895

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Wood

A lamp, a book, a glass of water, and little room for more. Found in Avignon and made in the 20th century, it stands on slender turned legs joined by an H-stretcher, with a single drawer beneath a top worn soft and pale. A table this size did the close work of a room, holding the candle, the book, and the glass of water within reach of a bed or a chair, and the gently wormed, rubbed-down surface is the record of a long life of exactly that. Sylvie uses it as a nightstand, a lamp and a book and a jug of flowers on top and the drawer for the things you reach for in the dark.

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 raw wood shows some staining and discoloration, with handwritten markings inside the drawer and a touch of rust patina on the hardware. The table has a slight wobble. These little signs of a life well lived are part of what we love about it.
