Monumental Spanish Monastery Table

Spain, 19th Century

$2,795

Antique

Sylvie Favorite

Wood

Sourced in Béziers, its scale and worn surface tell the story of two antique tables brought together long ago, with the legs from one and the apron and top from another. The joinery includes later repairs and a scatter of newer pegs across the surface, which simply reflect its long life and the many hands that kept it in service. Originally built for communal meals inside a Spanish monastery, it is long, narrow, and wonderfully sturdy, easily seating ten to twelve people. Sylvie imagines it as the ultimate entertaining table with stacks of books and oversized pottery running its full length.

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

    The legs still have their original darker finish and gleam, while the stringer, apron and top have been sanded through in places to raw wood. 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.
