Oak Coffee table

This oak coffee table may be small in stature, but it carries the gravity of centuries of monastic craft. Found in Avignon in the 1950s, its oval top and stout trestle base recall the grand monastery tables where monks once gathered over bread, wine, and scripture. The thick oak, timeworn and softened by touch, speaks of patient hands and enduring ritual. Though scaled for the living room, it holds the presence of something far larger, a miniature monument to French tradition. Sylvie sees it as the kind of table that anchors a space, drawing everything and everyone toward it with quiet authority.
