French Drapers Table

Straight out of a Lyon silk maker’s workshop, this drapers table carries the history of a piece that spent decades supporting bolts of fabric and careful hands. Its long, narrow surface was built for measuring and cutting cloth, with a single drawer that once held shears, chalk, and ribbon. The carved legs curve into a sturdy lower shelf that would have stored rolled textiles, and the whole piece has a gleaming, well earned finish that feels warm rather than precious. Sylvie loves this as a statement console behind a sofa or along a hallway, the perfect landing place for books, flowers, and a bowl of keys at the end of the day.
