This table is all about clever construction. Found in Avignon and dating to the 19th century, it’s a walnut gateleg table - a form that became popular in France for its ability to expand and contract with daily life. Originally designed for homes where space mattered, gateleg tables allowed leaves to drop when not in use, then swing up and out when it was time to gather. The oval top rests on hinged legs that pivot smoothly into place, supported by a sturdy underframe built to handle real use. The walnut has warmed beautifully over time, with softened edges, subtle surface wear, and the kind of variation that only comes from decades of meals, letters written, and elbows leaned without a second thought. Sylvie loves it as an entry way table or a flexible breakfast table for your crowded kitchen.
