19th c. Farm Dining Table

France, 19th Century

$2,995

Found in Avignon, this 19th-century farm dining table was the table a household lived around, in use from the morning bread to the last plate of the night. What sets it apart are the drawers, one at the center and one pulling out from each end, where the cutlery, the bread knife, and the linen stayed within reach of whoever sat down, so everything a meal needed lived in the table itself. Generations ate, worked, and gathered at a table like this, which is why it was built long and heavy out of good fruitwood made to take a century of use. Sylvie uses it for dinners styled with a bowl of provisions.

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

    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. This piece features three drawers and a gleaming finish. Wood putty is visible along the top seam, and there are some minor scratches and stains to the surface. A small amount of side-to-side movement is present.
