You can imagine the cellar it came from. This early 20th-century wine rack table was found in Avignon but began its life in a winery in Bordeaux. Bottles were stored on their sides in the carved cradles beneath the thick plank top, kept cool and dark so the corks would stay swollen and the wine undisturbed. The surface is worn from hands reaching in, bottles lifted, then slid back into place at the end of the night. Sylvie keeps it now as a small console, usually with a few bottles tucked into the rack again, which feels like returning it to its old routine.
