France, 19th Century

Antique

One-Of-A-Kind

Wood

Every old French village had a carpenter, and every carpenter had a workbench like this one, solid, plain, and built to take the weight of decades of work. Found in Carpentras, this primitive French carpenter's table was built from thick wide boards with a deep apron, a wide drawer in front holding the tools of the day, and four heavy fluted legs squared at the corners. The surface is scored, gouged, and softened by the cuts that gave the table its life. Sylvie sets it in an entryway as a console for a vase of flowers and a stack of books.

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. This piece had at one time been painted black, leaving variations in color and finish on the wood. The surface is naturally textured adding to its driftwood appearance.
