The perfect dining table doesn't exis... Discovered in Avignon, this 19th century monastery refectory table was originally built for communal meals, where long benches lined either side and everything was shared. Crafted from solid hardwood with traditional pegged joinery, the thick plank top rests on a trestle base with hand-cut supports and a long chamfered stretcher anchoring it below - details made to endure daily use over generations. The surface has been sanded back, revealing the natural tone of the wood and the quiet marks left behind from years of use. Sylvie loves it set at the center of a kitchen, where meals stretch on over a glass of wine.

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

  • Notes from Sylvie:

    Dear collector, as with many antiques, this piece may show signs of its age, including subtle repairs, a bit of movement, cracks, scratches, small holes, and surface variation from years of use; the top is a single solid piece, 3 inches thick and sanded, with some finish remaining on the legs, and it comes apart for ease of shipping, though it is very heavy.
