Industrial Campaign-Style Folding Table with Iron Bracing, France, circa 1900
A remarkable example of early 20th-century French industrial ingenuity, this folding table blends the practicality of campaign furniture with the raw elegance of vernacular design. Dating to circa 1900, the table features a plank-joined wood top and tapered legs, supported by galvanized steel braces arranged in a distinctive X-form. The construction is entirely collapsible, folding inward to just 11 inches wide and 3.5 inches deep—a marvel of efficient design.
Despite its compact storage profile, the table opens to an impressive 73 inches in length (just over 6 feet), making it highly functional for use as a dining table, workbench, or display piece. Its proportions and mechanical ingenuity suggest use in military, market, or expeditionary settings, where portability and durability were essential.
Surface wear, patina, and visible joinery reflect its utilitarian origins and lend authentic industrial character. A compelling blend of form and function, ideal for loft interiors, studios, or collectors of campaign-style and architectural furniture.
