Found in Avignon, this late 19th-century French farm table is in the kind of condition that almost never comes up to market. The original thick oak top is intact, unsplit, and never refinished beyond a careful bleaching that brought the wood back to its honey color. The two original drawers still slide perfectly, and the small turned iron pulls are the ones it was made with. The patina tells the whole story: knife marks where the bread was cut, dark spots where the wine was spilled and forgotten, soft wear at the edges where a hundred years of elbows rested. Sylvie places it in a kitchen with eight chairs around it, a long linen runner down the middle, and a bowl of fruit at each end.
Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.
