Oak Monastery Table
France, 20th Century
$3,495
We couldn’t believe our eyes. An oak monastery table with a parquet top, waiting for us in central France. The craftsmanship is undeniable - the thick, hand-hewn slab, the perfectly aged patina, the weight of something built to last. The parquet surface, laid in a herringbone pattern, speaks to the skill of the maker.Monastery tables like this were once found in refectories, where monks gathered for meals and work. Over time, they made their way into châteaux and farmhouses. This one disassembles for easy transport, held together by sturdy bolts, a rare and practical detail.

Notes from Sylvie:
Like many antique wood pieces, this table has evidence of previous wood worm holes and has been repaired in the past. It has worn finish, cracks, patina and stains, but we think that only adds to its character. The table comes apart into locking pieces and will need assembly when delivered.
