One-Of-A-Kind

So, spoiler alert: you need this. A 19th-century grain trunk that doubles as a console? Yes, please. Built from solid oak and raised on legs, these trunks were once used to store wheat, rye, and other grains in French farmhouses, their height keeping contents safe from damp floors and critters. This one still bears its honest patina, a reminder of its working life, but now it’s ready for a second act. Sylvie loves it as a television console, a hallway anchor, or even behind the couch, hiding away your less photogenic possessions while showing off your best.

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

    This very solid oak piece has some remnants of past finish and patina on the legs. The top opens beautifully. As with many antiques, this piece may show gentle repairs, cracks, scratches, holes, years worth of patina, and stains - just the way we like it.
