The piece stands on fluted and spindled-shaped legs decorated with diamond shape medallions at the shoulders, over a carved three-side scalloped apron. The tabletop, made of mixed woods including maple and beech wood, features a carving station surface shaped from generations of use, and embellished with metal brackets at each corner; the station sits over two large drawers dressed with the decorative brass handle. The carved back from a later addition is decorated with volutes on both sides and decorated with a wooden cow head and a steel metal knife slot holder dressed with two meat cleavers. The butcher table is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and adorns a rich light walnut patina. Place this charming work table in your kitchen or breakfast room for the ultimate Country French look; a true one of a kind! Two antique butcher Hachoir knifes with wooden handles included.
