The perfect dining table doesn't exis... Sourced in France, this monastery refectory table was built for shared meals. Solid hardwood throughout, with pegged joinery and a chamfered stretcher running the length beneath. The surface shows early tool marks, old repairs, nail impressions, and light splits at a few joins - all evidence of age and use, not weakness. Structurally sound and finished in a warm, mellow brown, it is a masterpiece. Sylvie loves it planted at the center of a kitchen for long, unhurried meals.

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

    This type of table is made to come apart into pieces and bolt back together so there is minor movement side to side, its in really good shape. 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.
