Spanish Console

Spain, 20th Century

$1,395

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Wood

A true workhorse! Found in Montpellier, this early 20th-century Spanish table started its life as a carpenter's workbench. The top is a single thick slab, scarred from years of work, and the base is an X-braced trestle bolted together for strength. A carpenter's bench had to take sawing, planing, and hammering every day without moving, which is why it was built heavier than a table meant just to look at. The wood has been stripped back to a pale, raw color that shows the grain and the marks of its working life. Sylvie places it behind a sofa as a console, where the scars of the workbench become the reason to look twice.

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 piece is constructed from various woods with metal hardware, and has been sanded back to raw wood, giving it a chunky and sturdy presence.
