Notes from Sylvie:

Dear collector, the back of the tabletop extends out a little further than in the front Like many antique wood pieces, this table has evidence of previous wood worm holes and has been repaired.

Found next to an ancient stone wall in a historic Masia located outside of Girona, this walnut desk features a large drawer and a top that is deeper than its base. Thought to have been made in the late 19th century, it is a fine example of local wood workers in Catalonia.

Catalonia, a region rich in history and culture, has long been known for its distinct identity within Spain. From its medieval origins as a powerful principality to its modern-day status as an autonomous community, Catalonia has preserved its unique traditions and language.

A key feature of the Catalonian countryside is the Masia, traditional farmhouses dating back centuries, often serving as the heart of agricultural life. These stone-built structures, with their thick walls and rustic charm, were designed to be self-sufficient, housing families, livestock, and crops under one roof.

This particular item was unearthed in historic 1750 Masia, a place steeped in history, where generations have passed down stories and traditions, making it a true artifact of Catalonia’s enduring heritage.
