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.
