Found in Carpentras, this 18th-century farm table comes from the Rhône-Alpes, where the long table was the one piece a farmhouse was built around. Meals, paperwork, kneading bread, and the whole family gathering all happened here, which is why it was made long, heavy, and out of the best wood a household could manage. The twisted legs are the maker showing off a little, a bit of style spent on the most important table in the house, with a low stretcher to keep feet up off a cold floor. Sylvie uses it as a dining table or a long desk, the kind of piece a room arranges itself around.
Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.
