French beech farmhouse table
Mid 19th century c.1860
Very likely estate made and used in the servants quarters. Almost primitive design, the curvature in the legs, almost as if carved from the roots of the tree itself. Sculptural qualities are seen from every angle. A table that was made to that particular estates aesthetic taste, adding a unique quality to the table
The table has historic woodworm holes but can a French table be authentic without?!
The tabletop itself sits lower than an English equivalent, however a leg clearance of 60cm is still present which gives plenty of room for the vast majority of chairs with their occupier to fit comfortably underneath
